Make Word in Java programmatically

With our Java library developers can easily make Word from scratch. To do this, Java developers need to perform just a few steps:

  1. Add file name
  2. Start creating a Word document using Java
  3. Save the output Word file

It is worth noting that a blank document is technically supposed to contain one paragraph, so when you programmatically create a Word document, you will get exactly that basic document structure.

Note that you can instantly add content to a newly created Word file. Thus, you will get not just an empty document, but a document containing the necessary content. For more information on how to edit a document, see the Editing page.
