You might as well get used to the idea that Word users will never give you "clean" files.

Many of the long-doc regulars use InDesign scripts that search for italics, bold, bold italics, etc., and assign character styles to retain the desired formatting, then select all text and remove local overrides. These scripts are basically just strung-together Find/Change operations, so you can do them one at a time manually, too.
