Which version of the file format are you targetting please, the binary (.doc) files with HWPF or the xml based (.docx) files with XWPF?
I have to say that I do not know that this is the case but I do very much doubt that it is possible to do what you require. HWPF is an immature api that is in need of developers - hint! - and it will not be a trivial task to add the required functionality I suspect. XWPF will, if it does not already include the necessary support, be much easier to fix as the file format is better documented and more accessible. Either way, it would be wonderful if you would consider adding this feature into the api - assuming that I am correct and it does not exist - and contributing the work to the project.
