Hi All,
Thanks to you all,for your help.
I close with these remarks.
 
Yes I was able to discover how 
to direct my IDE to the path of the .POI jar 
the respective jar containing the import. 
There is a "preferences" tab
in the IDE which leads to a page 
to enter any path to individual .POI jars 
regardless of where it is. 

However in my sample 
program there were items for which 
that the .POI jar did not 
have some objects written in the 
sample. This sample program might have been written
in an earlier time when publishing of the 
Apache .POI jar was not the same as 
the latest version for download now. The 
.POI archive is available but at a 
sizable effort to discover which one it
was. Even after that, the program 
might not access the version of Word 
that wrote the .doc  that I want to read.  

So I close my quest with an observation of 
a search in comp.lang.java.programmer

In a '07 post made by Raymond F Herrera
"I need to convert MSWord ".doc" files to plain data ".rtf" ones"
The OP writes in part:

" > Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products
> The Java Glossaryhttp://mindprod.com

[Roedy's site says:]
> .POI is not what I would call 
developer friendly. "

I agree.
