Disabling Autoformatting not applied to Word import

Steps to reproduce:

1. Disable Autoformatting in the personal Editor settings;
2. Import a word document containing:

    count(*)

   For example, sample.docx.

3. Expected result: (*) is displayed as text.
   Actual result: the characters are recognized and rendered as an emoticon, and "count" is displayed. The * character is rendered as even though Auto Formatting has been disabled.

Workaround: manually add the escape character \ to the Word document before importing, e.g.

\:)
\(*)
