Support for custom properties
Hello All.
I am new to POI and have been using VB.NET office add-ins for some
time. Via, Microsoft API, it is possible to set properties (both built
in and custom) for Office documents. Word, Excel, PowerPoint and
Outlook (.msg files) is what we am currently interested in.
I wanted to ask if POI supports (in decreasing order of interest :-) ):
1) Creation/modification/deletion of custom properties
2) Modification of built in properties
3) Bookmarks in Word files
The reason is that we were investigating setting properties on a
remote system using Java code rather than using add-ins on the client.
I tried using the automailer for this list to search ... but could not
get it to find the correct threads. Maybe I need to learn how to use
the search feature for the automailer first.
Meanwhile, if anyone could share the above information, I will be very grateful.
Thanks in advance for the help,

Thank you for the reply Nick. I will look at the documentation and try to learn.
I'm not good at Java (a beginner actually) ... so wouldn't be able to
contribute to hwpf yet ... but will keep in mind to contribute my bit
when I get better at it.
Thank you once more,
Parag Doke

HSPF should do all of this for you:
http://poi.apache.org/hpsf/
I'd suggest starting with the howto, then take a look at the examples and
unit tests if you need any more
