Automatically switch fonts upon switching keyboards

I use MS Word to type in a variety of languages that require different keyboards.  Is there a way to set MS Word so that the default font for an English keyboard is different than the default font for a Greek keyboard, so that when I switch keyboards, it automatically switches fonts?  I would like to do the same thing when switching to a Hebrew keyboard.

I know that Times New Roman (my default font for English) contains character sets for Greek and Hebrew, but I need to type Greek and Hebrew in industry specific fonts (I am a scholar, and scholarly journals can picky) produced by SBL (www.sbl-site.org)

How about setting up a template for use with each language.  The Styles in the template would be defined with the required fonts. 
Hope this helps,
