Now I am going to give you the keys to the kingdom here. The XML formats are really easy to deal with. Simply create a document in Word that contains the element you want to duplicate. Then if POI does not expose that element, rename your document from XXX.docx to xxx.zip. You can now look at the XML. Most relevant XML is in word/document.xml. There are other parts like headers and footers, but you can test most things in the main document body. Then look at the element you want to be able to produce with POI. If you make you document small and simple, this will be easier. The CT classes track very closely to the XML node names with CT tacked on the front and namespaces removed. Add and set methods are the most useful followed by isset. Once you use a few of them you will get the hang of it, and be able to look up and write methods to duplicate missing functionality with ease.

Note: the inner table has to be handled with the CT classes since cells containing anything other than paragraphs does not seem to be available yet. Also, every table cell must end with a paragraph. For now, when a table cell is created, a blank paragraph is added automatically. I don't really like this behavior, but given the requirement that a cell must contain at least one paragraph, and the last element in a cell must be a paragraph, I am going to have to adjust the code to deal with this in a more user friendly manner. You will, of course, want to add loops, as appropriate to your situation, to minimize redundant code :) Please ask these things on the list in the future so others can benefit from your questions. import java.io.File; import java.io.FileNotFoundException; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.math.BigInteger; import java.util.List; import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFDocument; import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFParagraph; import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFTable; import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFTableCell; import org.openxmlformats.schemas.wordprocessingml.x2006.main.CTBorder; import org.openxmlformats.schemas.wordprocessingml.x2006.main.CTP; import org.openxmlformats.schemas.wordprocessingml.x2006.main.CTR; import org.openxmlformats.schemas.wordprocessingml.x2006.main.CTRow; import org.openxmlformats.schemas.wordprocessingml.x2006.main.CTTbl; import org.openxmlformats.schemas.wordprocessingml.x2006.main.CTTblBorders; import org.openxmlformats.schemas.wordprocessingml.x2006.main.CTTblPr; import org.openxmlformats.schemas.wordprocessingml.x2006.main.CTTblWidth; import org.openxmlformats.schemas.wordprocessingml.x2006.main.CTTc; import org.openxmlformats.schemas.wordprocessingml.x2006.main.CTText; import org.openxmlformats.schemas.wordprocessingml.x2006.main.STBorder; import org.openxmlformats.schemas.wordprocessingml.x2006.main.STTblWidth; public class TableTest { /** * @param args */ public static void main(String[] args) { // Blank Document XWPFDocument doc = new XWPFDocument(); XWPFTable tbl = doc.createTable(2,2); XWPFTableCell cell; XWPFParagraph p; List<XWPFParagraph> pList; CTTbl ctTable; CTTblPr ctTPr; CTTblWidth ctTW; CTTblBorders ctBorders; CTBorder ctB; CTRow ctRow; CTTc ctCell; CTP ctP; CTR ctR; CTText ctTx; cell = tbl.getRow(0).getCell(0); pList = cell.getParagraphs(); if (pList.size() == 0) { p = cell.addParagraph(); } p = pList.get(0); p.createRun().setText("Cell 1, Row 1"); cell = tbl.getRow(0).getCell(1); pList = cell.getParagraphs(); if (pList.size() == 0) { p = cell.addParagraph(); } p = pList.get(0); p.createRun().setText("Cell 2, Row 1"); cell = tbl.getRow(1).getCell(0); pList = cell.getParagraphs(); if (pList.size() == 0) { p = cell.addParagraph(); } p = pList.get(0); p.createRun().setText("Cell 1, Row 2"); cell = tbl.getRow(1).getCell(1); pList = cell.getParagraphs(); if (pList.size() == 0) { p = cell.addParagraph(); } p = pList.get(0); p.createRun().setText("Cell 2, Row 2"); ctCell = cell.getCTTc(); ctTable = ctCell.addNewTbl(); ctTPr = ctTable.addNewTblPr(); ctTW = ctTPr.addNewTblW(); ctTW.setW(new BigInteger("0")); ctTW.setType(STTblWidth.AUTO); ctBorders = ctTPr.addNewTblBorders(); ctB = ctBorders.addNewTop(); ctB.setVal(STBorder.SINGLE); ctB = ctBorders.addNewLeft(); ctB.setVal(STBorder.SINGLE); ctB = ctBorders.addNewBottom(); ctB.setVal(STBorder.SINGLE); ctB = ctBorders.addNewRight(); ctB.setVal(STBorder.SINGLE); ctB = ctBorders.addNewInsideH(); ctB.setVal(STBorder.SINGLE); ctB = ctBorders.addNewInsideV(); ctB.setVal(STBorder.SINGLE); ctRow = ctTable.addNewTr(); ctCell = ctRow.addNewTc(); ctP = ctCell.addNewP(); ctR = ctP.addNewR(); ctTx = ctR.addNewT(); ctTx.setStringValue("Cell 1, Row 1"); ctCell = ctRow.addNewTc(); ctP = ctCell.addNewP(); ctR = ctP.addNewR(); ctTx = ctR.addNewT(); ctTx.setStringValue("Cell 2, Row 1"); ctRow = ctTable.addNewTr(); ctCell = ctRow.addNewTc(); ctP = ctCell.addNewP(); ctR = ctP.addNewR(); ctTx = ctR.addNewT(); ctTx.setStringValue("Cell 1, Row 2"); ctCell = ctRow.addNewTc(); ctP = ctCell.addNewP(); ctR = ctP.addNewR(); ctTx = ctR.addNewT(); ctTx.setStringValue("Cell 2, Row 2"); // A paragraph has to be the last element in a table cell. p = cell.addParagraph(); p.createRun().addCarriageReturn(); // Write the Document in file system try { FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(new File( "tabletest.docx")); doc.write(out); out.close(); doc.close(); System.out.println("tabletest.docx written successully"); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } From: Krishna Vyas Majji [mailto:krishna.ma...@quest-global.com] Sent: Thursday, September 01, 2016 10:49 AM To: Murphy, Mark <murphym...@metalexmfg.com> Subject: RE: How to insert table inside tablerowcell using apache poi I tried mark I am not getting exactly like this.
