      Is there a program or script that can import Word to Indesign correctly that will also automatically applied paragraph styles in Indesign?

      Also when we do a copy and paste, from Word to Indesign, why are all the styles(bold, underline, etc) are missing?

      I am not sure about such script, might be someone could help you in this regard.

      The reason you are getting only text without styles is due to the preference settings (ctrl K). Just change the settings under Clipboard Handling panel and click the radio button in front of “All Information (index Markers, Swatches, Styles, etc.)”

      Secondly, click the “Show Import Options” while placing text (ctrl D) from a Word file instead of copy/paste. You can deal with the Styles options here itself and can apply the styles even before the text import.

      Use inDesign’s File > Place command and navigate to the desired Word file.

      You may select the “Show import options” checkbox for greater control over how incoming styles are filtered.
