How do I set a different font to use to insert text in a document.

I want to be able to insert text using a font different from the original
document. I want to be able to set the font I want to use and then skip
around in the document and type my comments. How do I keep Word from
reverting to the original font every time I go to a spot to start typing?
 
Use styles rather than direct formatting.

I made my own style to insert text into the document, which also used styles,
but
it changed the style of the whole document. I want to keep the whole
document the same as it was originally given to me. But I need to be able to
select a different font and go through the document and make notes in my own
font or style. I have many to do, so I don't want to have to keep going to
the drop-down and choosing my font or style each time I get to a new spot in
the document.
 
1) Use a character style rather than a paragraph style for your inserted
text.

2) See

I followed the reformatting instructions and now it changes the paragraph I'm
in to the new style. That is not what I'm looking to do. I want to change
the style
and then start typing comments within a paragraph without changing the style
of anything. I then want to move to another spot in the document and click
where I want ot insert text and have it remember the font or style I used in
the last insertion.
