Default Formatting font for specific words

I posted this two days ago but it seems to have disappeared. I have Office
2007 and am using Word with a work of fiction. The main body is formatted as
Bell MT but I have two specific words that are always formatted as Lucida
Calligraphy. Is there any way to format so that those two words will always
type in the correct font without me having to highlight and change the font
every time I type them?

You could use a formatted AutoCorrect entry.

Select one of the words, already formatted in Lucida Calligraphy. Go
to Tools AutoCorrect Options (or in Word 2007, go to Office button
Word Options Proofing AutoCorrect Options). The word will appear
in the box labeled "With".

Just above that box, click the Formatted Text option button. The word
in the "With" box should now appear in Lucida Calligraphy. In the box
labeled "Replace", type an alias for the entry -- it should be
something that you wouldn't type by mistake, perhaps something
starting with a backslash.

Set up another AutoCorrect entry for the other word in the same way.

Have you considered changing the format when you are finished the entire
document then do a find and replace for those words to change the font to
Lucida?

I would like to thank you for the information you put here. I have to admit
using your process did format the word in the correct font. Unfortunately,
it also formatted the entire paragraph in that font. How do I get it to
format just the one word without affecting the rest of the formatting for the
paragraph?

When you format the text to be selected before you go to the
AutoCorrect Options dialog, either format it directly with the Lucida
Calligraphy font or use a character style defined with that font; DO
NOT use a paragraph style.
