I upload a doc file into Open Office Writer, save it as rtf and then 
run the program rtf2latex2e.  The reult isn't perfect but it gives 
you a starting point. 

Other conversion tools found with e.g., Kword, Abiword etc. don't seem 
to work as well. 

For client work I just save the doc or pdf as text and start from 
there.  The Adobe Acrobat Reader has a good text save function.
