If you had selected just those two words and applied the style to them, they
would have been changed to the font as defined in the style. If however you
select the whole paragraph and re-apply the style to the paragraph, the
direct formatting that has been applied to those words is not affected.

If the Chinese IME is enabled on your computer, or a Chinese font
somehow got installed, Ctrl-Spacebar will flip you into Chinese (it's
a Windows shortcut that Word can't override). It's safer always to use
Ctrl-Shift-Z to remove directly applied font formatting.
