Word Equation Fonts not Updating

Copper Contributor

I am using a current version of Word (16.72) on a mac but cannot modify the font within equations of the document. Currently the font defaults to Cambria Math; I would like it be in Times New Roman (TNR).

Things I have already tried:

1. Selecting part/all of an individual equation, going to the Home tab and changing the font to TNR - did not change the font.

2. Selecting part/all of an individual equation, going to the Design tab, selecting Fonts, changing the font to TNR - did not change the font.

3. Selecting part/all of an individual equation, right clicking, selecting "Font...", changing the font to TNR - did not change the font.

4. Selecting part/all of an individual equation, going to the Design tab, selecting Style Pane, creating a new style which only uses the TNR font, selecting the newly created style - did not change the font (current style is listed as NewStyle + (Latin) Cambria Math, Italic).

Ideally, I'd like to set the default font for equations to TNR, however if anyone can think of a way to manually change the font and get rid of Cambria Math, that would be helpful since I currently cannot even do that. Thank you!

@daniel_e1515 Many of the symbols used in Equations require the use of the Cambria Math font so you should not change it.
