Applying a Style to text in a table doesn't use Style font.

EDIT: I've reposted this in a simpler post. This thread was getting a little confusing and the problem is very simple.     I'm trying to apply a Style that uses Times New Roman as the font to tex...

    Ah HA!

    I think the part that was left out, was that to have Styles work in tables, you need to make sure that both your "Normal" Style font and your document "Default" font match.

    So whatever your "Normal" style is using, you need to go into your Default style and make sure that font is the same font.

    In my case, our office Normal style has been switched to Arial. But when I looked at my Defaults, it was set to Times New Roman (I thought I was supposed to match the Default to the Style I wanted to use which was Times New Roman).

     

    I found this solution here:

I wonder if it's that Word is seeing "Times New Roman" as an OpenType font rather than a TrueType.

 

Even as Windows says that all 4 of my Times New Roman typefaces are TTF files:
