Generating MS Word .doc Templates.

Hi,

Just a quick question: Does the POI API support the writing of MS Word .doc templates?

I went through FAQs on textmining.org and I have a related question.

Does POI support reading a MS-word template and putting UTF-16 encoded
content in it?

I am working on a very basic platform independent reporting solution
(nothing fancy like yours) which can generate reports that work with MS-word
without any MS-word/macros code. Currently, we generate reports in HTML
format (Java->XML->XSL) and then save them as .doc for users to edit and
print. Our HTML report supports basic MS-word look and feel features (like
page/section breaks, landscape mode etc). The main thing I haven't been able
to do is page numbering when doc is opened in word. If POI can help us put
our reports into a template, it would be yet another win for Open source
community.

Regards,
Gaurav

Ryan,

Thanks for you prompt reply! Do you know of any other API that supports
this?

Cheers,

Jonathan
