I am importing Word 2003 files into InDesign CS5.5 by placing/linking them and mapping the Word styles to the ready made ID styles. The Word document is simple and designed with this in mind! I have 2 paragraph styles and 2 character styles for bold/italic.

I do not care about the word styling. I just want the Word styles to map to my styles in ID and for the text to display based on the ID styles.

It almost woks. Placed text displays with the mapped ID style properties, except the font face is overridden by the font face I have in the Word file. So every times I update the Word I have to select all and clear overrides for that story...

I know this won't help, but... after extensive use with importing Word files to InDesign on a regular basis for work, it is my Professional Opinion, that it's just damn easier to copy, paste and apply your own style sheets. Unless you designed the Word file with exporting it to Indesign in mind, it never comes out great.
