Sorry not to answer that question before, but yes I need to edit the documents in the future.
Those I don't need to edit anymore I save as ps and then pdf, thats no problem at all.
Do you have access to a computer with Interleaf? If you do, save the files
as RTF or HTML; you should be able to get either format into LyX with the
least amount of trouble.
If you can't use Interleaf, but have PS or PDF files of the original documents,
you could use pstoedit to translate to LaTeX and then import it. That will
likely require a lot of cleaning up. You could also use ps2ascii to extract
plain text, if the LaTeX output is not satisfactory.
A worst-case situation recently forced me to scan and OCR a 50-page document (using gocr), that was tedious.
Those are your choices as I see them. None of them provide a seamless
conversion; you will have to do extensive reformatting for any of them.
Depending on the format of the original documents, you may also find
it hard to approximate the layout with LyX.
