There is also an ability to create a "library" that projects 
can include, thus putting the JARs, and any associated Javadocs 
and source, in the classpath and documentation path, respectively, 
for your IDE build.

The program doesn't access *any* version of Word.

It reads the .doc file directly.

I completely disagree. I've used POI and it didn't give any trouble at all.

I observe from this thread that you have yet to learn about classpath, 
setting up your IDE and how to communicate source code relevant to your 
question. These are your handicaps, not POI.
