First of all you may want to avoid document.write. Also, why are you 
transforming twice? I believe you need to

someElement.innerHTML = xml.transformNode(xsl);

or

xml.transformNodeToObject(xsl, resultdoc);
someElement.innerHTML = resultdoc.xml;

using the DOM to append the result instead of innerHTML would be a lot 
better.

As for the apostrophe, just save as HTML from word to tell us how Word 
outputs that. Once the character is identified, i'm sure someone will 
figure oout the right entity to use. However i dont think you will need 
to, the problem probably has to do with document.write (but please 
ensure you are using UTF-8 or something when trying the above).
