Hi All,
Thanks to you all,for your help.
I close with these remarks.
=20
Yes I was able to discover how=20
to direct my IDE to the path of the .POI jar=20
the respective jar containing the import.=20
There is a "preferences" tab
in the IDE which leads to a page=20
to enter any path to individual .POI jars=20
regardless of where it is.=20

However in my sample=20
program there were items for which=20
that the .POI jar did not=20
have some objects written in the=20
sample. This sample program might have been written
in an earlier time when publishing of the=20
Apache .POI jar was not the same as=20
the latest version for download now. The=20
.POI archive is available but at a=20
sizable effort to discover which one it
was. Even after that, the program=20
might not access the version of Word=20
that wrote the .doc  that I want to read. =20

So I close my quest with an observation of=20
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=20
developer friendly. "

I agree.
