ms-word to latex on linux

Is there a software package for converting a ms-word file to .tex file?

there is a package called word2x that you can download here Word2x download page

i think it doesn’t convert embedded images from word documents.

Thanks for the suggestion.
It seems I have stumbled over a better package:
wvLatex installable via yast.

great. which repository is it in?

From today I’m with my son in USA and my laptop is back home in India. However, the only repositories I use for non-entertainment purpose are oss, non-oss & debug. So it must be with one of them.
