Dilliquent - I think Jelby may have meant OCR'ing hard copies rather than OCR from inside Acrobat. I also found that if you open that "really bad" HTML from the Acrobat export in a browser you can copy from the display rather than the source to another program that exports it to cleaner HTML. i.e. I exported from Acrobat to HTML with CSS opened in Firefox copied from Firefox to InDesign and didn't get a paragraph character at the end of every line which you do with most of the exports from PDF.

Try importing the word doc rather than copy and paste. That might work.
