Using document as a java swing component

[engg_agrawal]

Hi,
can i use a document excel file or a doc file as a swing component.
i have few templates in in excel and .doc format.
i use them to produce bills by just entering data.
Now i want to develop a swing application and use the same templates in jpanel or jtextpane or jeditorpane.
its very hectic to make templates in swing using tables and all.
is there any api which can help me out???
thanks

Sounds like you should give the OfficeBean chapter of the OOo Developer's Guide "JavaBean for office components" a try: http://api.openoffice.org/docs/Develope ... Bean.xhtml
