Not so fast! IT does work. I tried latex2rtf with partial success before my original post. Jean-Pierre Chretien responded (apparently off list) that the latest version worked correctly. It does and I had used it improperly. One must run latex at least once, then bibtex and finally latex2rtf (or write a script, which was Chretien's recommendation). Font settings, headings and footnote locations and margins had to be set by hand.
This is still a PITA! Word is not a standard, but it is what most people in my field use. Now that I have a set of tools that work very well, and obviously, with the creative and bright people working on latex and lyx, I always will have. The documentation may be a bit behind ....
