I'm setting up templates for a client, and I've changed the default
font, the Normal style in the document, and in the Normal template.
However, when I start typing in a document, even though the style name
is correct, it always defaults back to Times. If I select the text and
"clear formatting", it returns it to the correct font. If I insert the
cursor into a word that's in the correct font, it changes the font for
that word to Times.

I've seen this sort of funny font-changing behavior. I think your best
bet is to take the usual font-cache clearing steps and see if that fixes
it. Use Font Book to look for font conflicts, and fix them. Trash
Office's font cache file, run Font Finagler or some other cache cleaner
to program to get rid of the system's font caches. Restart the computer.
See if things improve... m.
