I have good experiences with two tools: the free and GPL'ed wvware (wvCleanLaTeX) http://wvware.sourceforge.net/ gives quite good results and is recognized by LyX as word import filter. The project does not look very much alive though. Even better (in terms of producing LaTeX that reLyX understands) is the commercial tool word2tex. You need msword to run this, though. http://www.word2tex.com HTH, Juergen.
