If you're using later versions of Word, choose the Save option that
includes the fonts in the saved document.
Times (and its related ilk): whoever thought of using a font designed to
withstand the rigors of high-speed printing on poor quality paper and
still be readable while taking up minimal space for top-quality business
correspondence ought to be sentenced to forever reading every document
they ever see in 6-point Times.
