-I can set a write password on an HSSFWorkBook.
 How may I set a read password on an HSSFWorkBook?

 -How do I add a newly created Picture object top an HWPFDocument object, 
representing
  a word file under constructions?

-How do I specify a Picture Object's Dimensions and position in the overall Word
document object?

 -How do I add an HSSFPictureData object to a particular
 cell in an HSSFWorkSheet object?

-Using Picture, or the similar List<HSSFPictureData>  or List<HSSFObjectData>,
  do the simlar things for an Excel  HSSFSheet, not in the HSSFWorkBook ?

-Is there an easier way to create pictures from jpg files, java code for 
instance, set their dimensions, and locations in the document?
All this seems a little to complicated to engineer by programming one's own 
adXXX()// setXXX() methods.

'Word picture structures are concatenated one after the other in the data 
stream if the document contains pictures. Data stream is easily reachable via 
HWPFDocument._dataStream property. A picture is represented in the document 
text stream as a special character, an Unicode  whose CharacterRun.isSpecial() 
returns true. The file location of the picture in the Word binary file is 
accessed via CharacterRun.getPicOffset(). The CharacterRun.getPicOffset() is a 
byte offset into the data stream. Beginning at the position recorded in 
picOffset, a header data structure, will be stored.' 

Is there present development work happening on POI in these areas?
