How to insert a word document or an RTF document into RichTextEditor?

Question

How to insert a word document or an RTF document into af:richTextEditor. I am using Apache POI for reading the Word document and getting its contents. I am able to display the whole content of the document except the table and image within the document. The data in the table is getting displayed as a string and not as a table inside the editor.
Can we insert a word/RTF document into a rich text editor?
Can we insert images into the rich text editor?
The following is the code that I used. On clicking a button the word document has to be inserted into the <af:richTextEditor>.
<af:richTextEditor id="rte1" autoSubmit="true"
immediate="true"
columns="110" rows="20">
<af:dropTarget dropListener="#{SendEmail.richTextEditorDrop}">
<af:dataFlavor flavorClass="java.lang.String"/>
</af:dropTarget>
</af:richTextEditor>
<af:commandButton text="Insert at position" id="cb2">
<af:richTextEditorInsertBehavior for="rte1" value="#{RichTextEditorUtil.docFile}"/>
</af:commandButton>
Java Code: I am using Apache POI for reading the word document.
import org.apache.poi.hwpf.HWPFDocument;
import org.apache.poi.hwpf.extractor.WordExtractor;
public String getDocFile() {
File docFile = null;
WordExtractor docExtractor = null ;
WordExtractor exprExtractor = null ;
try {
docFile = new File("C:/temp/test.doc");
//A FileInputStream obtains input bytes from a file.
FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(docFile.getAbsolutePath());
//A HWPFDocument used to read document file from FileInputStream
HWPFDocument doc=new HWPFDocument(fis);
docExtractor = new WordExtractor(doc);
catch(Exception exep)
System.out.println(exep.getMessage());
//This Array stores each line from the document file.
String [] docArray = docExtractor.getParagraphText();
String fileContent = "";
for(int i=0;i<docArray.length;i++)
if(docArray[i] != null)
System.out.println("Line "+ i +" : " + docArray);
fileContent += docArray[i] + "\n";
System.out.println(fileContent);
return fileContent;

Hi,
images are not yet supported. Its an open enhancement request for the rich text editor.
For tables, it seems they are supported but in a basic way (just HTML 4 style) if I interpret the tag documentation correct
