Just posting the solution I worked out today. See my answer below.

If you don't have the very helpful OpenXML SDK v2.0 Tool, you can find it at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=C6E744E5-36E9-45F5-8D8C-331DF206E0D0&displaylang=en

If you know the purpose of the lines I commented with "I don't know...", please leave a comment explaining them.
