InfoPath 2007 Rich Text Converted to Word 2007 Document

Thanks to a S.Y.M Wong-A-Ton 'recipe,' a weekly status report form is
accurately converting string and date types through use of XSLT and C# when
the Word .docx version of this report (differently formatted with company
logo, etc.) is opened. However, data entered in the form's rich text
controls understandably lose their formatting (e.g., end of paragraph/line
breaks, lists, font display characteristics). The question is how to modify
the .xsl file or use an alternative approach for transformation. With the
former, I tried integrating xml code from a technique described by Stephane
Bouillon for the 2003 versions of each app, but that probably failed due to
2003 vs 2007 compatibility issues. Stephane suggested looking at Brian
Jones' explanation of Content Controls. I explored that for awhile and it
led to the Open XML 'alternative format chunks' specification. This seems
like a fascinating and powerful method, but I am looking for the IP --> Word
integration aspect, whiooich is not addressed in the content I have thus far
discovered.

Does anyone have any suggestions for moving me along the path to resolution
of this issue, or better yet, some applicable example(s)?

Thanks for your consideration,
