Question

I know the following code could extract whole texts of the docx document, however, I need to extract paragraph instead. Is there are possible way??

public static String extractText(InputStream in) throws Exception {

    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Start extracting docx");
    XWPFDocument doc = new XWPFDocument(in);
    XWPFWordExtractor ex = new XWPFWordExtractor(doc);
    String text = ex.getText();
    return text;
}

Any helps would much appreciated. I need this so urgently.

That’s just a guess after brief looking at the API:

doc.getParagraphs()
