You need to use a base document. HWPF does not yet support a creation of empty documents from scratch. >HWPFDocument doc1 = new HWPFDocument (); Doesn't work - that constructor is actually empty and does nothing :-) (You see, there are some issues which make it necessary, that HWPF is still in the scratchpad :-) ) >I also tried using > >HWPFDocument doc1 = new HWPFDocument (new POIFSFileSystem()); Doesn't work either, because HWPF expects to find real "Word content" with that call. >both the cases i'm gettign the same error!! ... And also i'm really clueless >how to make that blank document first. You can only take an empty document and open that. (Need not be a template (DOT)) If you want to make your life a bit easier, you can define the styles you need in that document so you can just apply them and do not need to create them.
