Are you saying that on one PC, the font is identified in ID as ITC Stone Serif Regular but on another PC it shows up in ID as ITC Stone Serif Medium? Or are you just saying that it shows up in Word as ITC Stone Serif Regular but in ID as ITC Stone Serif Medium? If the latter, then I think it's probably down to the way that Word labels fonts. As far as I know, there is no "regular" version of Adobe's ITC Stone Serif, so I'd be surprised if it's showing up as such in ID. As far as importing Word files into ID goes, I run a macro to save all local formatting (bold, itals, etc) as a character style, then I save the Word file as rtf and import that. Less clutter that way. Then I select all and clear overrides. I don't even use the same fonts in Word as in ID (because the writers don't have them). I just make sure the styles are mapped to the correct ID style.
