Undesired character styles

[Grundoon Groundhog]

I have created text boxes and flowed Word documents into them. For some reason ID applies an undesired character style to the flowed text. There is NO character style in the text box before flowing. Why does this happen? How can I stop it?

Did you select a character style in the Character Styles panel before placing the Word document?

Check that and select character style "None" before placing the Word document.

Yes, I did that, and it still happened. I'm also having a problem with a nested style that should be a single character 3 line drop cap in a special font at the beginning of an article in a magazine, but insists on making it the wrong font followed by a character in the special font (but not dropped). I've tried to remove my preferences which may be corrupt but the program wouldn't start at all when I did.
