Printing to a word file
good morning everyone.
I have come up with a simple java app that has a bunch of jtextfields. the program is about 95% done but to finish this i will need to print the what is in the textfields to a text file and append wome other stuff and make it look good.
this is where my problem starts. i have read all the posts about printing and can not come up with a solution for my problem.
is there someone out there that can help me or explain how to print something to a text file. I know i can use the stream function but i am not sure you can format the output to look good.
Thanks

Didn't mean to recommend wrong stuff, just found those by simply browsing the Sun site and forums..
It would have been nice though if you had posted another solution then, since I'm a n00b at it.. :p

Yeah I don't really know another solution for word at least. I know for Excel that JExcel seems to be a workable solution.
It's just one of these things where POI has been recommended over the years here quite a bit and so searching will turn it up but a couple of people have pointed out recently that it's sort of dead.
