LyX is really a great way to write math. Therefore I would like to 
convert my old MS Word documents -- 
with a lot of equation in Equation Editor -- to 
LyX (these are documents I continually revise). Any advise 
about this? I found two commercial packages for conversion 
to LaTeX: Grind EQ and Word2Tex. They are 
expensive, and the results are so-so. Definitely requires a
 lot of hand editing of the LaTeX code. Any 
experiences with these programs? It appears to me the 
results from Word2Tex is a little more faithful to 
the source, but it's hard to evaluate from the trial version.
