There's a solution that has worked (almost) perfectly for me:

Don't save as RTF, most word processors make awful RTF. Use MacLink's
translator, which makes real nice and clean RTF.

Then, use Erwin Wecthl's rtf2latex which is available from CTAN sources.
It has recently been adopted by a new, e-mail accessible maintainer, this 
might be of  interest to  BSR?
