I have had to do this a bit recently and find that the easiest way is to
open the file in OpenOffice, and export it to LaTeX (you need an
extension, google for it) using the ultra-clean option.
Then I use TeXShop to get rid of some unnecessary stuff and change
the header to what I like in LyX and then run tex2lyx.
Works very nicely.

I know this might be asking for a bit much, but could someone help me
with converting a Doc file to Lyx? I know there are ways of doing
this, but don't have the right software tools on my comp (and can't
understand the complex instructions for installing the same).
If you agree, I will email you the doc file, and really appreciate if
it could be converted to Lyx.In particular, I need to retain the
italicisation of the text. Thanks! FN
