Import docx to lyx

Really, you are only thinking about lines and some special formatting.
Tables, images, headers, footers, and more make it very complicated. The
formats are diametrically opposite. Docx keeps information on every glif on
the page. Latex keeps markup and text separately with packages to fill in
blanks like biblatex and tables.

If you really need to, I would just do it manually. It's not too much work.
I've had to do it a few times on even large documents.

Thanks
