Thanks Dwayne; overriding all the formatting in our books would be a nightmare putting them all back in again, so that’s not on for us. We tried it. It’s fine for shorter documents but a book of 300 or more pages, not on. I need to keep the italics and bolds and headings; those are straight forward – but for InDesign to find something somewhere in Word that makes it decide that the text is red, and/or struck out … that’s just weird, and once the document is INTO InDesign, you should be able to apply a paragraph style and NOT have it mis-read codes from a programme as big in the world as Microsoft Word. We will have to agree to disagree; in my eyes, this is a major fault in InDesign. lol! But thanks for the input.

Re the name: for my sins, my mother called me Josephine. Growing up, I was Josie. I’ve had various nicknames in my youth, unrelated to my real name, but then other people have also called me Joss, Josh, Jodie, Joey … I pretty much answer to anything with a J that sounds vaguely like Jo. :)
