Mark,

You were right ...

XWPFDocument doc = new XWPFDocument(POIXMLDocument.openPackage("c:\\test.docx"));

       CustomProperties props = doc.getProperties().getCustomProperties();

CTProperty[] ctp = props.getUnderlyingProperties().getPropertyArray();
       for (CTProperty foo : ctp) {
           System.out.println(foo.toString());
       }

Prints out the variables in an XML format. Now the question is how do you update them since there is no setProperties() method?

Thanks.

I think that the support for this task is there.

Take a look at the XWPFDocument class. You should see that it extends the
POIXMLDocument class and that this class declares method with the following
signature - public POIXMLProperties getProperties(). To quote the javadoc,
it will "Get the document properties. This gives you access to the core
ooxml properties, and the extended ooxml properties." I have never used this
myself but think it could be the best place to start looking.

To get you started, you can access an OpenXML document this way;

XWPFDocument document = new XWPFDocument(OPCPackage.create(new
java.io.File("your file")));
POIXMLProperties docProps = document.getProperties();

Hello,

I have a task to update the properties (custom variables) of a DOCX file (Office 2007). I tried looking on POI's website but I can only find a reference to a XPFFWordExtractor but not much else in terms of docx support. I know it's still in very early development, but I was hoping this is a simple enough task that it was done already.

Thanks.
