I need to convert some of my class notes to (sorry) msword so that a

Usually, such conversion is not perfect and you will have
to fix some things after the conversion.

But are you sure you need to convert?

Perhaps it is less work to just install LyX on your
colleagues computer - you could offer to do that instead?
Your colleague will also need latex _if_ there is a need
to print / preview. But LyX without latex is also
an option if all those files will go back to you for
final processing anyway.

Some people worry a lot about getting a new, different word processor.
But you can point out:
1. Getting LyX does not mean loosing word. The two word
   processors coexist just fine, your colleague can simply use
   lyx for your files and word for other stuff.
2. All the software needed for LyX is free, so no money lost here.
