depends how well you know RTF, I'd say. Now that XSL has allows 
plain text output (ie you are not longer constrained to write
valid XML), you can write out the Microsoft gobbledygook easily.

generate a trivial document doing what you want in Word. save as
RTF. examine the result. replace wet towel around head, and take pill
for splitting headache. cut up RTF and paste into output portion of 
your XSL stylesheets. run XSL engine. load result into
Word. scream. repeat process until barely human.

just guessing :-}
