[Tex/LaTex] Most efficient way to convert word containing many Mathtype equations to LyX

equationslyxmsword

I use LyXConverter from
http://www.editorium.com/lyxconverter.htm

It does not convert equations, which are displayed as "no file found", that is, empty files, in LyX. so I have to use "toggle tex" function in Mathtype for each single Mathtype equation and paste it into the converted LyX version.

I also want to preserve the cross-reference of author-year style by using Endnote, as well as cross reference of equation numbers of Mathtype.

My deadline is coming soon, so is there a more efficient way?

Update for those who are seeking solutions: Now I am using a commercial software converting word to latex, and importing latex code into LyX by choosing "file"-> "import"->"latex plain" command in LyX. Although there are some new issues (see my other questions) compared to manually doing for each equation, overall, I think this is still more efficient.

Note:

I used the geometry package and the adjusted the paperwidth= so that the wrapping of the lines can more easily be seen.

Code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[paperwidth=8.0cm,showframe]{geometry}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{calc}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}
\noindent
The final equation is:
\[ x= (m*n)+P+Q \]
where\par
\begin{itemize}
  \item [$x$] is some really long explanation of this value 
  \item [$n$] is the value of 
  \item [$m$] is the value of
  \item [$P$] is the value of
  \item [$Q$] is the value of
\end{itemize}

\noindent
The final equation is:
\[ x= (m*n)+P+Q \]
where\par
\begin{itemize}[align=left,leftmargin=1.5cm,labelwidth=\widthof{$P+Q$}]
  \item [$x$] is some really long explanation of this value 
  \item [$m*n$] is the their product
  \item [$P+Q$] is the their sum
\end{itemize}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] In LyX, what is the most standard way to type a system of equations

Insert → Math → Ams Align Environment

and then in the left part y_t and the right = A'X_t, then hit ctrl-enter to get a new line.
