Default StyleRef Formatting Frustrations

I found Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings under Start\All Programs\MS
etc. etc. and the only language I have installed is English.

MS Gothic is a Chinese font. In your Style(s) Font, is there an
entry area under "Asian fonts"? If MS Gothic is chosen there, see if
you can change it to something innocuous like Arial or TNR.

There's a third area for a default font, called "Complex," which
covers Arabic/Hebrew and Indian fonts. You should also be able to make
that one Arial or TNR, too.

Presumably those two extra areas are only shown if your computer has
its Asian and Complex abilities turned on (mine were from the
beginning, so I don't know what it looks like without them.)

OK, this is driving me friggen nuts! I'm hoping someone can please help.

I have a form (Word 03) that I'm trying to use sbarnhill's SytleRef trick
with. The Useful StyleRef tricks page is:http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/S....htm#FormField
because I want to insert a Name field (client entered) and Date field
(client entered) into the footer. So far so good. I did all of the
instructions and everything works --except-- the formatting of the form
fields turn from my Normal Style Font (Arial 10pt.) to MS Gothic and I can't
figure out why or how to fix it.

I've tried switching the Style Type to Paragraph and it still changes to MS
Gothic when the style is applied to the form field. I tried deleting it and
reformatting it by entering Arial into the Formatting field ofthe New Style
dialog--still MS Gothic. And it gets weirder! If I insert a form field,
just a normal one, and apply the Normal Style to it, it changes to MS Gothic
Font even though it was all ready Normal Style in the first place! AAHHHH!!
Am I going crazy or what? Does anyone have any clue as to what the heck is
happening with this form? Where is the MS Gothic Font coming from? It's not
in any of my Styles or Normal.dot. Grrrrr.

Would someone kindly tell me where this might be coming from? 'Cause I'm
about to through my monitor out the window! I know that won't fix my problem
but it sure would feel good! I'm sure some of you know what I'm talking
about! Anyway, if any Gurus out there could please come to my rescue, I sure
would appreciate it. Much much thanks in advance!
Best,
Dax
