When I open a WP document, the paragraph style is Default, and I find
that
Paragraph Style: Default > Font Effects > Font color: Automatic
which is OK. What is not OK, however, is this: I use in my system
white font on dark background, and the opened document has *black*
font on the dark background. To correct the situation I select all,
and then set
Format > Character... > Font color: Automatic (instead of Black)
This is hardly satisfactory because:
a. Some text in the document may be in specific color. When I select
all and set automatic as character color, this is lost, and I have to
go back to correct it.
b. When the document contains tables, I have to select all the cells
of the table and apply the automatic character color (with again some
text in some text falling into the first case).
Is there a better/easier way to handle the situation?

Either create a special "style" with the font colour & background you
want or modify the default "style" and create one or more special styles
for other things. Which you do depends on which is the more common usage
in your world. Read up on "styles" in chapters 6 & 7 of the Writer guide
at http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/ or the two
appropriately named chapters at
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Writer_Guide
You can save the styles you create to a special "template" or to the
default "template" as you wish. Templates are also discussed in
documents linked to from those two pages
