About create a Word file with Jacob

Question

Hello!
I want to create a new MSWord document with Jacob. All the examples that I have seen are for MSExcel and me do not serve. How I can create this document, insert text and images, the application to record and to close it from Java?
This it is the code that I use to open the application, but it trumps me when I try to create a new document.
public class DispatchTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ActiveXComponent dc = new ActiveXComponent ("Word.Application");
try {
dc.setProperty("Visible", new Variant(true));
Object documents = dc.getProperty("Documents").toDispatch();
Object document = Dispatch.get(documents, "Add").toDispatch();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Thank you very much!

Hi,
Here is the code which is used to open an Word or Acrobat Reader.
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class Demo1 extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
JMenuBar mbar = new JMenuBar();
JMenu file = new JMenu("File");
JMenuItem n_pad = new JMenuItem("Notepad");
JSeparator sep = new JSeparator();
JMenuItem m_word= new JMenuItem("Ms Word");
JMenuItem a_bat = new JMenuItem("Acrobat Reader");
public Demo1(){
setUpMenuBar();
public void setUpMenuBar(){
file.add(n_pad);
file.add(m_word);
file.add(sep);
file.add(a_bat);
mbar.add(file);
setJMenuBar(mbar);
n_pad.addActionListener(this);
m_word.addActionListener(this);
a_bat.addActionListener(this);
public void display(ActionEvent evt1){
Runtime r= Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p=null;
try{
if(evt1.getSource()==n_pad){
p=r.exec("notepad.exe"+" "+"c \\javafiles\\listit.java");
p.waitFor();
else if(evt1.getSource()==m_word){
// p=r.exec
("rundll32"+" "+"url.dll,FileProtocolHandler"+" "+"Winword.exe"+" "+"file /
/c \\newcorpus\\index.htm");
//p=r.exec
("rundll32"+" "+"url.dll,FileProtocolHandler"+" "+"Winword.exe"+" "+"c \\ja
vafiles\\listit.java");
p=r.exec
("rundll32"+" "+"url.dll,FileProtocolHandler"+" "+"Winword.exe");
p.waitFor();
else if(evt1.getSource() == a_bat){
//p=r.exec
p=r.exec("rundll32"+" "+"url.dll,FileProtocolHandler"+" "+strFile);
//strFile gives the complete path where it is saved
/* ("rundll32"+" "+"url.dll,FileProtocolHandler"+" "+"Acrord32.exe 'c \\javaf
iles\\jspintro.pdf'");
p=r.exec
("rundll32"+" "+"url.dll,FileProtocolHandler"+" "+"Acrord32.exe");
p.waitFor();
}catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt){
display(evt);
public static void main(String args[]){
Demo1 md=new Demo1();
md.setVisible(true);
md.setSize(200,300);
I hope this will help you.
