Characters going missing after placing content from Word

Question

I am trying to place a chapter from Word to InDesign, recently I noticed in few chapters that characters at the end of a sentence are getting truncated from the actual content and getting added to the last page of the InDesign file.
I have extracted few pages from the InDesign file and marked the sentences on page 2, 3, and 4 where the characters have gone missing and have also marked the location on the last page where these characters have got inserted.
I am using Adobe InDesign CS4.

Answer 1

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}... RTF sometimes works for me ..
Alas -- Hate to burst your bubble.
This particular annoyance used to pop up only very infrequently, but lately it happens more and more (perhaps upgrade related? I'm on 6.0.4 now). Saving the same document as RTF definitely does *not* help (only in the sense that I usually get other random fragments of text at the end).
It's not true it has anything to do with footnotes -- I just saw it in an entirely regular document, no thrills nor frills.
With every new version importing Word documents has detoriated more and more, where older versions happily import the exact same files that the newer version chokes on or simply imports wrong. I've noticed and reported this since, oh, CS2 came out, and -- sadly -- every new version since.
[Edit: It's a bit like that **** annoying line in the quotes that get inserted automatically!]
