Any graphics manipulation package (ImageMagick, Gimp,...)
If you need it often, you may prefer a batch version of the converter,
like ImageMagick's convert command.
If the original figure is of vector kind, you will also
prefer to stick to it, which can be more difficult (IM provides
bitmapped versions of PS, which may rescale badly).
Lastly, most Word implementations HAVE an eps driver (this is
compulsory if the printer is a PS one), so that checking Print in a file +
Encapsulated PS produces an eps file if there in less than one page.
I should say, *almost* an eps file, because there may remain
forbidden constructs (setpagedevice e.g.) and unnecessary stuff
before and after the PSfile markers. You must filter these out
to be able to use the eps in LyX.
