When I am not interested in converting math formulas, I obtain satisfactory results using wvCleanLatex from the wvWare project: http://wvware.sourceforge.net/ I compiled it on cygwin, but I think that you can also find a native port at the URL above. Once you have wvCleanLatex in the PATH, simply reconfigure LyX and you should obtain a "MS Word" option in the File->Import menu. -- Enrico
