Can't you import your word document in OpenOffice Writer and then change / replace things ? That is my method using Writer2Latex : 1) Import the Msword in OpenOffice with the Article stylesheet provided in the Writer2LateX distribution. 2) Search Replace styles to format your article with Article styles (Title, Section, Subsection, citation, etc.) 3) Save the document in OpenOffice format and then translate it to Latex 4) Optional apply a sed script on it to clean the file 5) Import it in LyX Charles -------- http://www.kde-france.org
