        int arrlen = 10000;
     byte[] infile = new byte[arrlen];
     Frame parent = new Frame();
     FileDialog fd = new FileDialog(parent, "Please choose a file:",
                FileDialog.LOAD);
     fd.setVisible(true);
     String selectedItem = fd.getFile();
     if (selectedItem == null)
          // no file selected
        else
                setFileName(fd.getDirectory() + File.separator + fd.getFile());
          File ffile = new File(getFileName());
          // read the file
          System.out.println("reading file " + getFileName());
          try {
               FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(ffile);
                                       BufferedInputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
               try {
                            doc = new HWPFDocument(new FileInputStream(ffile));
                            WordExtractor wd = new WordExtractor(doc);
                            String filestring = wd.getText();
                                                    writeFile(filestring);
                                return filestring;
                        catch(IOException iox)

        OutputStream word = new FileOutputStream(str);

Why not call JFileChooser#getSelectedFile(), which will return a java.io.File instead? You can pass that to your FileInputStream's constructor. That should be (relatively) bullet-proof.
