Default Help with locking text type and size in form

OK - I'm very new to Script Editor and creating forms within MS Word but I've learned alot. I'm working in MS Word 2003 and have created a form. In the form I have a text box (Text7) for the user to enter his SSN. Within the options I have it set-up as regular text with no options. I didn't set as numbers as the user would enter the dashes. I've copied the Script Editor and pasted below. Here's my problem (or question). Once protected and saved and reopened, the text entered into this field (& others) is not input in the font (size or type) as set-up. I want it entered as Arial 9.0 and it is entered as Times New Roman size 12 pushing the entry below the row. Is there some way to set (lock) the font type and size within Script Editor or otherwise? I have another text box set-up with options set as date format and it reverts automatically to the font desired (starts out as Times New Roman 12 but after entered and user tabs to next entry the data switches).

Arial 9.0 is listed in the code...Here is the code:

style='mso-spacerun:yes' /spana name=Text7/a/span!--[if supportFields]span
style='mso-bookmark:Text7'/spanspan style='mso-element:field-begin'/spanspan
style='mso-bookmark:Text7'span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Arial'span
style='mso-spacerun:yes' /spanFORMTEXT span style='mso-element:field-separator'/span/span/span![endif]--span
style='mso-bookmark:Text7'232-23-2456/spanspan style='mso-bookmark:Text7'span
style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Arial'!--[if gte mso 9]xml
