Font not working in Microsoft Word 2004 mac

[fontnoob]

I'm using mac leopard and I've created a font using fontlab but I cant get it to work in Microsoft Word 2004 for mac. It works in InDesign and Illustrator but whenever I type anything in word it displays the name of the font and when I click on the font name it selects like any other font but when I type it uses Times new roman instead. It doesn't suddenly swap to TNR in the list, my font is still highlighted it just types in TNR. Can anyone help me?? thanks in advance
