Hi all,

Does anyone have any experience with doing mail merge from Java on a word document? I need to support both doc and docx formats.

I have heard of Apache POI and docx4j. However, from reading around I'm sure how good the word support is in POI. docx4j only supports docx format as far as I can see.

Can any suggest either one of the above (and correct my knowledge on support) or another appropriate library. If necessary I would be willing to use one lib for doc and another for docx.

Thanks.
