I don't know of anything that does it automatically, but if you have Macro
Maker, which comes as a utility with System 6.0 and up, you can define
keystrokes which toggle back and forth.  Set Macro Maker to record, toggle
via the Control Panel, and give the macro a key definition.  These definitions
are then saved in the Macros file.  If you run under Multi-Finder and they're
Finder macros, you can access them at any time.

This is what I did.  I needed it because certain large screen fonts, like
scan 48, go haywire when I run Microsoft Word in color mode.

Hope this helped
