Sorry Mark, my knowledge of XWPF is VERY limited indeed. It may be best to
start a new thread asking specifically about XWPF if you want to get a
better response. Having said that though and speaking as someone with a
limited knowledge of such things, would it not be possible to transform the
xml formatted file into 'your' xml format and simply remove XWPF from the
equation entirely?
