Default Font substitution

I'm designing templates for my organisation, and would like to use one of the
fonts bundled with our version of Office:

http://www.microsoft.com/typography/...t.aspx?PID=143

As these aren't system fonts they may not appear on users machines when we
email documents outside our organisation.

My questions:

1. What font will Word substitute if it can't find the font I've used?

2. Is there any way I can control the substitution? For example, if I set up
my documents to use Gill Sans, could I have Word substitute Arial at times
Gill Sans is unavailable?

Thanks. By the way, I am aware of Word's font embedding feature but would
prefer to avoid it.
