Some possibilities:
- Use a different output format that can be more easily converted to Word or
RTF. Possibilities are HTML via the R2HTML Sweave driver or an Open Office
document via the odfWeave driver.
- Use a different report generation tool that doesn't add as much extra
markup to the output, such as brew.
- Try converting the tex to HTML instead of RTF-- plasTeX or tex4ht may be
more robust (though I still doubt they would know what to do with the
Schunk, Sin and Sout tags as those are non-standard LaTeX).
I happen to be working on a project that may end up doing the same thing--
automatically generated reports containing summary graphs and tables. I
love LaTeX myself, but I'm currently planning to produce the reports in HTML
format just in case someone less typographically inclined needs to edit
them.
Good luck!
