This looks like what I need. No matter how ugly the output, I can massage it back into health. If it doesn't convert from LaTeX to LyX, I can convert word to XML instead, parse the XML and convert it to LyX. The documentation says it preserves both paragraph and character styles, and allows you to specify placeholder names for equivalent environments, which I can later code. > > Actually OOo is usually fine.

If OO were the last content authoring system on earth, I'd be tempted to go back to pen and paper. So thank you all for creating LyX! SteveT
