Mailmerge with POI

[Brian Densmore <de...@oghamllc.com>]

From, what I can see it appears that mailmerge of Word documents is not yet
supported, and no one has taken up the gauntlet to work on the Word document
features. Is that correct?

It appears the simple Word documents are all it creates, right?

Thanks,

Brian

There have been several recent contributions to both XWPF and HWPF.

Recent contributions to XWPF include Footnote and Page Numbering support.

Recently in HWPF are bug fixes and table style lookups.

Probably you can create more complex documents in XWPF than HWPF.

Here is a recent bug fix:
50474 - Example demonstrating how to update Excel workbook embedded in a WordprocessingML document

If you want to work with Word you may need a nightly build.
