So it's not the infamous "character formatting applied to the entire
paragraph" so that the Default Font change?
It could be a paragraph property that isn't visible in the Paragraph
Designer. For character tags, you can define baseline shift via MIF
that isn't available in the Character Designer, and I guess the same
must be possible in paragraph tags. It's possible FM shows such an
override with an asterisk, even though no change can be seen in the
Designer. Save the file to MIF and check all paragraph properties
there, including "FDX" and "FDY" values.

Also, we know that text imported from Word can acquire mysterious
formatting properties that may be difficult to get rid of, for
instance change bars for text used in revision tracking (or whatever
it's called in Word). Could this be a clue?
