Have you looked at the output from Shoebox with a text editor, before Word
gets a chance to import it?  When you're typing in to Word, and underscore
toggles italicization.  Conceivably it treats an underscore in an imported
file the same way.

I presume you're exporting your Shoebox file as RTF, then importing it in to
Word.  I just tried this with an underscore in a filename, and it imported
OK into Word.  So my hypothesis in the previous para seems to be wrong.
OTOH, I can't reproduce your problem.  Can you give us more information on
how you're exporting, version of Shoebox and Word, etc.?
