How to Import Java data into Word????

[Oxymoron]

Hi.
I need to import data froma a Java program saved in a file either as Object/Text/XML into a Word document.
Is there any way to save the data directly as a compatible word format? e.g. .doc or .rtf, I suppose .txt could be used but then I'd have no control over presentation and style etc.

Also as a sub question, can Java control other applications within the Windows desktop environment? Such as opening Word, copying data into the new document, and then saving it?

ANY suggestions or comments would be extremely helpful, such as possible classes to look at etc.
Thankyou all.

i use the code bellow to write to excel. it may give you some hint

response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel"
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=" + "excel.xls" );
String message = ( String )session.getAttribute( "EXCEL" );
PrintWriter pw = response.getWriter();
pw.println("message"
pw.flush();
pw.close();

You can also try looking at the POI API by Apache.
