OK I have successfully been able to read and write some simple text strings
to a doc file but I need to go further with this. My goal is to create a app
to embed images, text, tables, and headers and footers. Using a graphing
library I will generate jpgs or gifs and then embed these images into my doc
file using apache poi. Can anyone point me to an example for inserting an
image? Thanks.
