If you have the file in Word then don't go via postscript whatever you do. http://www.tug.org/utilities/texconv/pctotex.html has some more info that might help convert the file to latex. From there it is but a small step to lyx... sort of.

Thank you Raphael.

But this would be the goal of it. Because originally I would like to convert from Ms Word to Latex. I found some program that can do that, but I lose some formatting. Now I tryed to print the Word document in a file. This was ok, and I get the correct formatting (this file is a postscript). And I thought it would be useful to convert this postscript to a Latex document.

Against, thank you for your answer.

Hello everybody!

My question is not about Lyx, but I didn't find another list for my
question. Sorry about this.

Also my question: is there a software that converts a PostScript or a
pdf-file to LaTex?
Searched for on sourceforge.net  and freshmeat.net but all of the programs
convert from LaTex to ps.
Do you have any idea?

Best regards and a lots of thanx for your help.

The answer is essentially no. You could attempt to convert from ps to
text (pstotext amongst other tools) and then load it into lyx and
reformat it by hand.  Sorry not to be more helpful but what you are
attempting to do is not really doable.  It is a little like trying to go
from a published disney film to the instructions need to render it.  We
can't do things backwards like that :)
