Surely it had to be your code or the set-up rather than POI taking hours to complete?

I would try to create spreadsheets with 20k records and it would time out before completeing. Even if I set the application to run it's course, it would never complete...even housr later. It is a promising set of java classes, but at least the excel version is too cumbersome to use for anything but a small spreadsheet. It is pretty robust in that you can take advantage of many of excel's features...it just takes too long to process. I don;t know if the word version is as slow, but it is definitely worth exploring.
