(VPS 110712-1, 2011-07-12), Outbound message Xref: x330-a1.tempe.blueboxinc.net comp.lang.java.programmer:6138 I'd like to generate a moderately complex document (text, graphics, tables, bulleted lists) with Java code that can be read by Microsoft Word users. It's not important to me whether these document is in the traditional 'doc' format or something else like .xml. I've been researching via Google and there was some buzz about WordProcessingML several years ago but very little since. POI, which has been under development for years, is apparently _STILL_ too immature to be much use. I've been away from Java for a few years and haven't kept up with most of it. How are Java developers generating Word-readable documents these days? I don't want to waste my time learning a technique or technology that was a fad for a couple of weeks in 2007 and would prefer a well-regarded widely- used approach if such a beast exists. -- Ten-Blade
