I think rtf2latex2e is better:

     ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/help/wp-conv/rtf2latex2e.html

I.e., you save the Word document as RTF and apply rtf2latex2e to
the result. I used it this year and was very happy about the outcome.
You get "physical" markup thus. For the journal, of course, you must
use \title, \author, \date, \documentclass{article}, \begin{abstract},
\section etc. ("logical" markup).

     http://tug.org/tex-archive/info/beginlatex/html/chapter3.html#basic

may be nice to learn about these commands.

Good luck,
   Uwe Lueck.
