i'm trying to merge .doc files , i used this code found in previous stackOverflow post :
public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
// POI apparently can't create a document from scratch,
// so we need an existing empty dummy document
HWPFDocument doc = new HWPFDocument(new FileInputStream("fich1.doc"));
Range range = doc.getRange();
//I can get the entire Document and insert it in the tmp.doc
//However any formatting in my word document is lost.
HWPFDocument doc2 = new HWPFDocument(new FileInputStream("fich2.doc"));
Range range2 = doc2.getRange();
range.insertAfter(range2.text());
//I can get the information (text only) for each character run/paragraph or section.
//Again any formatting in my word document is lost.
HWPFDocument doc3 = new HWPFDocument(new FileInputStream("fich3.doc"));
Range range3 = doc3.getRange();
for(int i=0;i<range3.numCharacterRuns();i++){
CharacterRun run3 = range3.getCharacterRun(i);
range.insertAfter(run3.text());
}
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("result.doc");
doc.write(out);
out.flush();
out.close();
}
The problem that i'm getting this error :
Your document seemed to be mostly unicode, but the section definition was in bytes! Trying anyway, but things may well go wrong!

Here's the content of the different files :
fich1.doc : Hi all
fich2.doc : Bonjour à tous
fich3.doc : Hallo alles
resullt.doc : Hi allB
