In ID CS, cmd/ctrl enables you to scale text & frame, and adding the shift key makes it proportional.

The Word file should be importing correctly, but occasionally saving it as RTF, rather than Word format can give you more predictable results.

Are you on a Mac or PC? You can put the Word doc in my public folder on my iDisk. Mac: Go > iDisk > Other user's public folder. My iDisk name is adobetim. If you're on a PC, go here to get the Windows iDisk utility: http://www.mac.com/1/iTour/tour_idisk.html
