Default OCR to MS Word to InDesign

What would be an optimal way to transfer an OCR'd (optical character
recognition) piece, in this case an entire book, into MS Word, retaining
formatting? I'm beginning with Abbyy FIneReader OCR which allows you to scan
into MS Word. Ultimately the MS Word doc will be transferred into InDesign
for final layout, so the Word doc should be compatible with ID. Sorry if this
question crosses over too many other programs, but the MS Word phase is
relevant.

I'd like to maintain all the original formatting, only changing the font.

Thanks!
Luca
