Those random hyphens are probably discretionary hyphens. Many times when you copy and paste from Word, the discretionary hyphens convert to hard hyphens.

Either import the file, or if you want to copy and paste, search for discretionary hyphens and delete in Word first.

Discretionary hyphens don’t show up in Word if you have invisibles turned off.
