You could also take a look at word2x
http://word2x.alcom.co.uk/
which supports LaTeX output and catdoc
http://www.fe.msk.ru/~vitus/catdoc/
which supports (AFAIK) some limited TeX output.
One sidenote: IMHO would an import filter for Word for Lyx be a truly
'killer'-feature. I live in a students-hostel and all people around me
write their papers with Word. So we have people complain very often. :)
I always tell them: go use Lyx. The secondmost reply (after: 'I have no
Linux'), is, 'I have already written so much, its too much work to
convert'. Even if I had only small use for such a feature, I think it
would greatly help spreading the use of Lyx.
