Hi,

I want to point out that rtf2latex, OpenOffice and word2tex are only
able to convert equations created by Microsoft Equation Editor or
MathType. There are at least two other ways to write equations in Word:
Using EQ field functions (seldom used by Word users, but used as default
by the latex2rtf converter), and using the new Word 2007 - 2010 equation
editor (having a syntax similar to LaTeX). 
The latter two equation forms can neither be converted by rtf2latex, nor
by OpenOffice, nor by word2tex. Even at least one publisher of
scientific journals (I don't remember who) requests authors NOT to use
the new Word 2007 - 2010 equation editor but the old equation editor or
MathType.

This having said, the three ways all have their advantages and
disadvantages, apart from the fact that they all create LaTeX code which
is quite different from what a typical LaTeX user would write, and I
have no experience of how well this code imports into LyX.
