    You should be able to use the Word Find & Replace function to change the find without affecting the rest of the document.

    It would be best to make a copy of the Word file first.

    Open the document in Word.

    Press Ctrl + H to open Find and Replace.

    Click More - Format - Font

    Select the DBCS font you want to remove and click OK.

    Then click in the 'Replace With' box.

    Click More - Format - Font

    Select Times New Roman and click OK.

    Then, click 'Replace All'.
