Paste Special As RTF from Word 2002 makes all upper ascii characters garbled! 

Also, paste from InDesign (where default is RTF) makes the pasted text become garbled: all text is Underlined, have Strikethrough, and all uppper ascii characters are garbled!! 

Paste Special As Text, however, makes the text OK (but it is of course unformatted plain text, whereas I want to retain format style names etc). 

When importing RTF from file, however, the filter seems to work, but not when doing copy/paste, so there is something seriously wrong with paste. 

Are their any remedies? 
I'm on XP and FrameMaker 7.0. 

Most of all, I would like to make the paste as a link to the Word Document object, and only thereafter sometime later convert those links to editable FM text objects, but with retained format styles. 

(If FM is going to make it in this company, the remedy MUST be a real and direct remedy, rather than saving every piece of "paste" to a file and then do a file import. I know FM (versions 3-6) very well, but am exploring the options of introducing FM in this new company I work for, which currently uses only Word, even for thick technical manuals and marketing stuff.)
