How can I convert Documents from MS-Word to Lyx-format?

MS-Word->TeX
 Word2TeX 32-bit 1.0 Intelligent 32-bit External converter for Microsoft
Word 7.0 (or later) to TeX ... :-))
wv works OK for most Word documents, but can choke on some MS encodings. It also, IMHO, tries to be too faithful to the physical format of a Word doc (which is usually ugly anyway). One rather roundabout solution with awkward Word documents is to load them into Star Office / OpenOffice and tidy them up (converting them to OpenOffice's native format then converting back to Word might get rid of some glitches).
Btw, does anybody happen to know a program for converting HTML to
LyX/TeX/LaTeX? Can't find from the Herbert's page.
There's a Perl script called html2latex which works reasonably well. You may have to hack it to get it to find your Perl installation, though.
