Hi friends,

I am trying to change the font size of a text.
To do this I am writing one HWPF stream to another and hence can change the font, but what I exactly need is to have different font(and/or size) for each word/paragraph. Basically to have more than one font size in a single piece of word file.
Can anybody please tell me how to go about doing this ??

hi,
thanks for the answer.
the script work very well.
what’s the effect of using “paragraphs[i] = paragraphs[i].replaceAll(“\\cM?\r?\n”,”");”

thanks

Hi Slim,
Just place the hello.doc where .class file resides. If you are putting the doc file at another location than specify the location path in the source code. IT will work fine.

Thanks,
