Is there a way to change font color of all styles at once?

Question

I'm working on updating a former InDesign document and need to change all the character and paragraph from white to black. I've clicked on each style and tried to change the font but it only made a black stroke around each character and when I try to make the text black it keeps it white and puts a black background under it.

So I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

Can someone help?

When you edit your Paragraph Styles (from within the Paragraph Styles panel) you would right-click and choose Edit to get into the options. Then you would click on Character Color. This this pane section, you would make sure that Fill is activated; not Stroke. The two overlapping squared icons are clickable to choose one or the other Choose the [Black] swatch and click OK.

Likely you will do this procedure inside each paragraph style.

Another approach is to use the Type tool to select a portion of the text; change the color applied to the Fill from the Swatches panel; then hover over the Paragraph Style that is active (hinted in blue) and right-click it and choose Redefine Style (which updates and incorporates that color change throughout all the text that is wearing that style.
