is there an easy way to fix this when importing/converting such files? I've gone through options in Heuristic Processing panel but I'm not sure which checkbox needs to be checked.
During conversion look at the options in the Text Input area and instead of auto for Paragraph style select one of the other options and try until you get the proper fit. Read this section of the manual for insight into the various options.
