Java: parsing ms-word document using POI/HWPF

Question

I have a ms-word document (MS-Office 2003; non-xml). Within this document there is a string associated with a bookmark. Furthermore, the word document contains word-macros. My goal is to read the document with java, replace the string associated with the bookmark, and save the document back to word format.

My first approach was using Apache POI HWPF:

HWPFDocument doc = new HWPFDocument(new FileInputStream("Test.doc"));
doc.write(new FileOutputStream("Test_generated.doc"));

The problem with this solution is that the generated file does not contain the macro anymore (File size of the original document: 32k; file size of the generated document 19k).

Does anybody now if it's possible to retain all the original info using POI/HWPF?

never found a solution. The customer had to pay an Aspose-license (expensive) or refrain from using macros.
