Does anyone know of a good way to convert MS Word documents to Latex or Lyx 
(except for word2tex.com's product?) ;-) Since I dont have formulas in the 
document i have (tables), I exported the word document to html. Then, I 
realized latex2html is a one way program. 

Does anyone know how I can convert html documents to latex and so i can 
import them into lyx? If there is not a html2lyx that is...

Thanks

Have a look at rtf2latex2e (tries do deal with formulas as well).
Export to HTML from Word, and use html2latex is a mess in general
because the structure is lost (might be good for tables alone, but
seems to me that rtf2latex2e does a better job).

The only drawback is that you need the end user to provide the rtf
(I'm not aware of a free batch doc-rtf converter).

I find recent versions of wv are OK at reading Word documents (use

HTML - LyX
There is a html2latex program available somewhere, though not as an RPM last 
time I looked.
