SSRS - export to Word - control the font for the "Normal" style (not Times New Roman)

When exporting from SSRS to Word, the resulting document always has a "Normal" style font of Times New Roman.

In a common scenario, a report is exported from SSRS to Word, then an analyst/author uses Word to add commentary. If they click in any empty area and start typing, the "Normal" style will be applied with Times New Roman font.

Ideally this could be set as a Report-level Property and passed to Word during the export process.

Along with the font size - when I export the font size is set to 1.
I tried adding a text box where commentary could be written - that caused layout issues.
