Praveen,
HDF currently only supports reading Microsoft's Word file format. We know
this is a shortcoming in HDF and are actively seeking contributors to remedy
this. You seem like an excellent candidate. In the meantime, I would suggest
that you use the OpenOffice SDK (http://www.openoffice.org). It is almost
platform-independent because it runs on most mainstream operating systems,
Windows, Linux, Unix, Solaris, and Mac (I think?)
Also, if I may make a suggestion. If you want our continued goodwill DO NOT
SPAM ALL MY FRIGGIN EMAIL ADDRESSES WITH A QUESTION DAMMIT!!! Next time I
will not respond. Use the poi-dev mailing list if you have a POI related
question...
poi-dev@jakarta.apache.org
