wv works OK for most Word documents, but can choke on some MS encodings. It also, IMHO, tries to be too faithful to the physical format of a Word doc (which is usually ugly anyway). One rather roundabout solution with awkward Word documents is to load them into Star Office / OpenOffice and tidy them up (converting them to OpenOffice's native format then converting back to Word might get rid of some glitches).
I have windows installed too and so it is no problem to run from within Linux "wine /windows/.../winword.exe" and to convert the text to rtf or html.
vmware does the same. Herbert -- http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/
