Strange font conversions

I have flowed a Word document into Indesign, and attempted to convert the Times Roman fonts to Adobe Garamond Premier Pro. No character or paragraph style has been applied. However, the Garamond fonts become superscript of their own accord. If I then select the fonts and deselect "superscript" the font changes to Arial.

If you have any character or paragraph settings when you place text without any styles, these are taoken.
Never work without styles.

The master page columns are set to GX, general text, without any character style. The footnote reference style occurs anyway.

No character or paragraph style has been applied.

You have applied a “Normal” paragraph style (which is set in Arial) and a “Endnote reference” character style on the whole text. Both are overriden.

No, this continues to happen after I've deleted and replaced "Normal." The original "Normal" was Times Roman. Only one of several font bugs; I will address the others elsewhere.

The original "Normal" was Times Roman

This is how your “Normal” style is set up. No Times New Roman. And if you modify this style and set it up with Times New Roman, you get what is expected: your text will be in Times New Roman.

And you “Endnote reference” character style is in Garamond Premier Pro, small caps, superscript. So, all what happens is perfectly normal.
