John,
Have a look at https://writer2latex.sourceforge.net/index.html
I have used Writer2LaTeX a few years ago and found it very
helpful when using what was then called the "Ultraclean"
Option, which I don't see on this much more current version
on cursory look.
Install both writer2latex.oxt and writer2latex-config.oxt.
Then play with the Configuration in Tools -> Options (which
on my Mac only appear of an ODT is open).
You would need to save as ODT first, then export to LaTeX,
from which you would be able to use tex2lyx (the -m option
canbehelpful), and then you could pull into LyX.
If the Word format you are getting is always the same (per
lawyer) which is likely, because they would use some sort of
"template" much of this could be automated :-)-O
The PDF5 might look like
File -> Export -> Export [PDF (LuaTeX)]
which I have tied to Command-R on my Mac(s).
greetings, el
