You could try to use reLyX (shipped with 1.3.x) for text->lyx conversion but it's not very good. You'll have to polish the output a bit. (there's a replacement being worked in current cvs) An alternative if the text has little or no formatting is to paste text inside your document and then select math chunks and press C-M. Alfredo
