Word import preset not saving "Import as Static Text" checkbox state

Hi

We are typesetting a publication with two different styles of endnotes and to achive what is required we want to import some articles normally and some with the endnotes as static text. We made two presets; one with the "Import as Static Text" checkbox toggled on and the other with it off. However, moving between the two presets it is clear that the "Import as Static Text" settings is not saved by the preset, which is a suprise to say the least. Looking inside the .smp file which is created I see no preference which could be saving this setting. 

I have never come across this before and couldn't see any discussion online, except when this setting was mentioned in relation to a script someone was using to import Word files - maybe to workaround this very problem. Are there any solutions/workarounds to get the preset to work?

Many thanks,

Iain
