I'm trying to change the default font of the headers and
footers in the "normal.dot" template. I have been able to
change the default font of the basic text, but when I try to
save the changes to the headers and footers it does not
"stick" - meaning that the next time I use that template the
basic text is the new font, but the headers and footers
remain with the default font.

Suggestions appreciated.

I presume you are using Format | Style and changing the font? Did you check
the Add to Template button?

Have you changed the font of both Header and Footer styles and checked the
"Add to template" box in the Modify style dialog for both?

As the OP, I wrote:

Thanks to both the suggestions, I have solved that problem.
I was not aware of the Format - Style approach. I was
using what the Help menu suggested, which was to open the
template, make the changes, and then save.

I have another, related question, and it is shown below in
another post.

Thanks again.
