MS Word Font Question - Old Style Figures

Does any of the standard typefaces available in Microsoft Word offer old-style figures, that is numbers with ascenders (6, 8) and descenders (3, 4, 5, 7, 9)? I tried Bookman Old Style, but it doesn't seem to really be "old style."

You mean lower-case figures? I'm looking, but I'm not sure.
