With a lot of time and great difficulty.
If the file is simple text in a word file you can use `strings' as a filter to
produce an ascii file, which you can then edit by hand because strings is not
perfect. Then import the result of that into LyX as an ascii file, and format
it appropriately. I kid you not, it _does_ work.
You could also look at:-

for some other programs.
You might also be able to import the file into either WordPerfect or StarOffice
and just go from there using the word processor.
If it is full of formulae you are probably out of luck.
