There is a way to do this with Excel files.  Like the approach you mention,
it uses the Jakarta.poi project's HSSF (excel counterpart to the word HWFP)
utilities.

However, we also use the open-source http://jxls.sourceforge.net/ project
which defines the template metatags and actually does all of the file
reading, manipulation and serialization.

So, I'm confident that poi's HSSF can be used to do this but developing
enough structure in a free-form word document as well as the meta-tagging
could be a challenge
