Question

Is it possible to programmatically place the contents of a web page into a Word file?

To further complicate this, I’d like to do these steps in Java (using JNI if I must).

Here are the steps I want to do programmatically, followed by ways that I would do this manually today:

1. Provide a method with a URL (Manually: Open page in Firefox)
2. Copy the contents of that URL (Manually: Ctrl-A to select all)
3. Create a new Word document (Manually: Open Microsoft Word)
4. Paste the contents of the URL into Word (Manually: Ctrl-V to paste)
5. Save the Word file (Manually: Save the Word file)

Answer 1

you could do better imho downloading the file using HTTP then create a new word file using Apache POI and copying the HTTP stream inside the word file
