Like I said, there is a sample project out there for doing this with Excel. You can follow what they have done and do it again for Word docs. It won't be easy but that's all I know of that will do this.

Like the approach you mention, it uses the Jakarta.poi project's HSSF (excel counterpart to the word HWFP) utilities. However, we also use the open-source http://jxls.sourceforge.net/ project which defines the template metatags and actually does all of the file reading, manipulation and serialization. So, I'm confident that poi's HSSF can be used to do this but developing enough structure in a free-form word document as well as the meta-tagging could be a challenge --andrew shumway -----Original Message----- From: Manjula G (manjg) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 2:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: How can i fill the template(word doc) from java program Hi All, I need to read the template(word doc) & fill in the template according to the input data.How can i achive this in java.Is it possible to do it with HWPF!
