I'm typing a big document (a novel) and every once in a while I hit something on the keyboard (seems to be around the right arrow key or the Ins "0" button on the number keypad) that switches the font of the paragraph I'm typing from Times New Roman to Liberation Serif.

Two questions:

#1) What is causing this?

I can switch the font back of course when I find it, but this is a 47,000 word doc and it will be quite the challenge to visually locate the Liberation Serif (many of the paragraphs are only a line). I opened a new doc and typed an "a" in Liberation Serif and copied and pasted that into my Times New Roman doc, hoping it would find any Liberation Serif "a" but it just found any old "a," including Times New Roman "a"s.

#2) Is there a way I can scan my original doc for the Liberation Serif that is in there?

Thanks.
