I think that lyx uses wvWare for conversion.
Converting word document in anything usable is a nightmare, wvWare does
the much it can, but can partially failed.
I would suggest you to do it manually:
1 - Convert to tex
$ wvLatex myWordDoc.doc myWordDoc.tex
Or better, if you want to have a good latex output (changing a bit the
apparence but better structured):
$ wvCleanLatex myWordDoc.doc
2 - Try to latex the result
$ latex myWordDoc.tex
If I understand well your problem, it will fail.
Correct the latex source (there will only be minor problems), if you'r not
a latex guru, ask any that float around : there are a lot at loria ;)
3- Then you have a good latex doc and you can certainly import it in Lyx
format.
Hope it helps,
