Style mapping no longer seems to work between Word and InDesign
Previously I was able to import Word (v16.62) documents into InDesign and map its Paragraph Styles to my INDD template's Paragraph Styles.
In the latest version of InDesign (17.2.1), this does not seem to work, and the Paragraph Styles only come in in a single style.
I have gone back and tested this using old files, which previously worked, but they now do not work: the Style Mapping doesn't seem to register at all.

First: put the system back to where it was a table with all the Word styles on one side and then where one could drill down on the other to select the appropriate InDesign style. Could separate out paragraph, character styles if you want.
Second: make it work. Currently does not show all the styles used in the file in the drop down box that appears when 'Add' is selected. When one has hundreds of styles like I do it makes this program inefficient and much worse than it used to be.
