Style changes font

[livetohike]

W/ this groups help I created a character style called "Do not spell
check" that looks like this: "Default Paragraph Font + No Proofing"

The problem is that when applied it changes the font back to
"Normal" (times). I want it to leave the font to whatever I happen
to be using.

I also tried "The font of the underlying paragraph style + No
Proofing", with the same result

In case it helps:
-Prior to using the style I had changed the font of the text in
question using Word toolbar.
-The Word toolbar shows "Normal" for the style before I apply my "Do
not spell check"
-I also need this to work within a custom Outline style.

Thanks

You need to understand what Default Paragraph Font means, viz., the font
defined for the style. If you want to use a different font for your text,
you should make this change in the paragraph style. See
