It seems to be a bit deeper of an issue, Brian, if even after opening the
document the user can't change the font.

There's more to this than meets the eye.

More from Word Help:

The fonts are different in the converted document.

Documents created in other word-processing programs may contain fonts you
don't have
installed on your computer. If you open a document that contains fonts you
don't have
installed on your computer, Word substitutes fonts you do have. To control
which
fonts are substituted, click Options on the Tools menu, and then click the
Compatibility tab. Click Font Substitution, and then select the options
you want.
