Howto convert .doc to .rtf using poi

[Henrique VIECILI <vi...@softplan.com.br>]

Hi,

This is my first message to the list and I am planning to use POI to handle some Word documents.

My doubt is if it´s possible, using POI, to open an .doc file - maybe alter it - and save it as an rtf document?

Thanks,
Henrique Viecili

You can use POI to read/write a document but there is not code for 
converting to RTF.  Be aware that the code is alpha at the moment, includes 
little documentation and lacks a regular maintainer.  If you're going this 
route be prepared to get your hands a little dirty.
