Calling Microsoft Word in Java

I am new to Java. I would like to know is there any way that I can invoke Word or Excel application in my Java program? If yes, how? Thank you in advance for your help.

Use Runtime.getRuntime().exec("..."), where the string could be word.exe etc.

Embedding Microsoft Word in Java

Hi,
i want to embed Microsoft word in my java application. Can anyone one tell me how to embed word in java. By embedding, I don't mean to invoke word from java. I want to use word as an editor in java.
Thanks,
Ashu

COM-JAVA bi-directional bridge can be used to transfer calls between Java-COM-Java. Almost all the MS products come as COM Components which by COM specifications can be reused or upgraded with out any need for recompilation.
By using bi-directionaly bridge we can make such a way that Word is extended from Canvas and add to any java component. All the connection points (In COM Tech, Connection points are used for event firing) can be converted as events and methods calls can be directed thru bridge.
I checked out JIntegra. Its good and working fine. They give u a limited time evaluation version and after that you have to pay. Check out JIntegra at linar.com
Check this thread for a sample code. It shows how I can use IE in panel.

If you want to give voice commands to LabVIEW, you might want to read this blog

Thanks Andres!
I have confirmed that the following instructions does allow you to use Word 2010 32-bit running on Windows 7 64-bit or Windows Server 2008 R2 to edit company
knowledge...
1. Go to the directory where the OpsMgr console is installed (example: C:\Program Files\System Center\Operations Manager 2012\Console )
2. Make a copy of Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Monitoring.Console.exe.config
3. Edit Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Monitoring.Console.exe.config using Administrator rights
4. Search for “</dependentAssembly>” and remove the “<publisherPolicy apply="no" />” line immediately following the “</dependentAssembly>” line
Hope this helps!
Regards,
JJ
Well, firstly I have to agree with other people's comments along the lines of "It shouldn't be this hard!", but I can happily say that the solution above (by IM5FOOTNOTHIN)
worked for me...once I noticed this crucial footnote: "Do this for
ALL instances of the
<publisherPolicy apply="no" /> line that immediately follow the </dependentAssembly> line"

Microsoft Word to Java

Yes I checked Google, yes I checked these forums and so on. Basically, what I'm trying to do is read in a word file, check for certain words (its a code that users will write in the word document) and then check those codes to see if they match a code in a text file (most likely another word document) and then append to that code the description that follows the matching code from the database to the existing word document.
I found the POI project, which seems to be feasible, but I was just wondering if you guys are aware of this (because I need to give an answer to work to see if it's possible soon) and if it is possible, how long is it going to take me to do it.
So what I'm looking for essentially is :
-Read Word file
-search through it for specific words
-run those words through the database to find the corresponding one
-append the description from the database to the code inside the word file
-the database is most likely another word file.
So do you think it would work with POI? J-Integra costs money so that is a no dice.
And it isn't a one time thing, people will be using it later on.
I'm thinking executable jar, but I can take care of that.
Comments/experience/suggestions are welcome, thanks.

Actually I need something that can be distributed to
alot of computers, and right now for POI to work I
need ANT and forrest. Things that I am not too
familiar with and don't have time to either. This has
to be user friendly and editable.
I wrote a Macro that saved the doc file into xml to a
specific location with a specific name. I'm going to
have an executable jar and the user just has to click
it and enter the keyword they are looking for. ( I
made an applet due to userfriendly-ness). Afterwards,
I'm going to make it convert back to doc (I'm still
working on that, probably another macro.). All in
all, this is my solution since the exporting to xml
is clean (the interface, not the code).
And since converting back to doc from xml is almost
flawless (with the type of documents I'm using) it
works perfectly for MY needs.
Anyways, that's all I did. POI looks like a hassle
and a half to go through.Well, it all depends on the circumstances. I've seen this kind of thing come up before, where a circuitous route is taken to convert from one format to the other. If you know it's not going to change in the future, and you can conrol the environment, it may make sense.
The danger is that if there's a lot of users, you now have to support the code itself, the macro, hope that there aren't MS Word version issues, JVM issues with MS vs. Sun, JVM version issues, etc. Personally, I'd either use WebStart or a web app so you can control the environment, and then I'd wire in POI. It's more development up front, but can potentially save you a lot of headache down the road.
But as I said, your mileage may vary, consult a doctor if itching persists, etc. Good luck!

OLE2: Calling Microsoft Word from Forms

I am writing an Forms application which requires me to be able to open a Word template file; then replace the bookmarks in the template with data from an oracle database; then to save and print the Word document.
I know I can do this using the OLE2 package, but I don't know how to. Does anyone know where I can find a good source of information showing actually how to do it, the standard Oracle documentation is syntax only, I could do with some example code, etc.
Thanks
Nik

Hi there,
You can take a look at the samples-forms. When you install Forms you can install demos too. One of those demo-forms shows how to use Forms and Word through OLE2. For ths source you can take a look within the FMB file.

How do I Launch a Microsoft WORD Document using AciveX from testStand

Hello All:
I would like to launch a Word document from within Teststand. I would also like to have the ability to search the document for particular sections of the document. I can not find any sequence file examples that even comes close to demonstrating any of this.
Thanks...

Hello Craig,
I have attached an example that will demonstrate this for you. You may need to change the Word Server to match the version of Word that you have installed. This can be done by right clicking on each ActiveX step and select Specify Module. Under Automation Server, scroll down the list to Microsoft Word... and select it.
This is primarily an example to demostrate calling Microsoft Word from TestStand. If you require additional functionality from the Microsoft Word ActiveX server then you should refer to the API reference help for Microsoft Word.
Hope this helps!
Bob

Is there any way to import word document and process like that above?
I have searched about this, and found out 'Jakarta POI' can access to word document but with many restrictions. (I heard it doesn't support word version 2003 and 97)
Can any one please answer this?
Thankx

I'm not really sure that java is the best language to use for this particular project. I haven't looked into writing a standalone application to do this sort of thing, but Microsoft Word has a built in VB editor that allows you to write scripts that will do this very simply, using Word's Document Object Model.
I would imagine the same sort of the thing could be done from a Stand-alone aplication as well, but you might need some libraries for reading the document and obtaining the object with the same model. I would look into Microsoft's .net solutions for this one. You might even be able to work out a solution in C++, C#, or even J# (which I understand is "similar" to java), if you don't know visual basic.
It is possible that there is a library out there that will read a Word Document, and create the appropriate Java object with the same object model, but I don't know where it can be found.
Anyway, if the option is available to you, take a look at Microsoft's .Net. You'll probably have more luck that way. Good Luck!
