Import MS Word files without manual updating of fields

If MS Word includes fields, such as table of contents, hyperlinks and other embedded objects, and it is imported, the fields are excluded and a warning is displayed: The imported file contains fields. To translate them, re-place the fields with text and re-import into Memsource.

Current behavior:

When importing the MS Word file, most of the fields is not imported. 

Available workaround: 

The user can select the whole content of the file by using Ctrl+A, then use Ctrl+Shift+F9 to convert fields to translatable plain text.

Requested behavior: 

If the MS Word file with fields is imported, the fields are imported as well without any manual preparations.

Use case:
If a document contains multiple fields or there are multiple files in the project, preparing all of them for import can be a time-consuming process.
