Alternatively, you could hand-edit your text document to turn it into a basic
LaTeX document, rename it with a .tex extension and import it, then do the
formatting in LyX.

To risk asking a very obvious question, are you sure you have the

It could be that GS is capable of reading them OK, but TeX isn't
