Hi Mark,
I have copied the code you provided as test unit (for the simplification, I
only use the first method to do my test - public void
searchAndReplace(String inputFilename, String outputFilename, String
searchTerm, String replacementText) ), but still
no luck to solve the corrupt problem. I opened the corrupt file in editPlus,
I can see the tokens have been changed. However, I cannot open the file as
Word any more.
My test is running on Windows XP, the library I used is
apache-poi-3.7-beta1.
Do you get any chance to test that?
Thank you very much,
Jingmei
