Just copy the text in Word, and in LyX use "paste special - plaintext (Ctrl+Shift+V)". As you most probably don't want to paste soft (conditional) hyphens in LyX, you have to switch off automatic hyphenation and replace all manually inserted soft hyphens by nothing, in Word, before copying. -- Wilfried Hennings
