News of docx4j

Everything works fine with docx4j 2.6.0 jar file, but simply replacing that jar with the 2.8.1 jar file (from 30th Sept) and running some code which produces a report in Word 2007 format (writing only, no reading of docx files) gives the following error message:

Hi,

I'm adding a new paragraph (P) to a body (B). Later I need to go get that paragraph because I am inserting another paragraph after it, but before the next paragraph. So finding it's position int he parent is key.

(in this example I have retreived paragraph - an instance of P ...

Hi,

I have setup some code to perform some formatting. I can use JcEnumeration.RIGHT, LEFT, CENTER and it applies the w:jc tag appropriately. But when I use BOTH or DISTRIBUTED nothing gets set in the document xml for the w:jc tag.

I notice that Word uses "BOTH" for justify alignment. Either way (BOTH or DISTRIBUTED) my code does not work. Here is an example of how I set CENTER which works and then the same ...

The github issue:

I have been investigating docx4j for its capabilities for document merging (document assembly could be a more apt word).

Primarily I was looking at the library for following aspects:

I have come from using C# to manipulate word 2007 documents with the OpenXML SDK. Manipulating content controls can be done fairly easily if you know the tag of the content control. I am hoping to be able to populate text strings into richtext content controls in word 2007 without using xml ...

Hi,

I have a docx "template" with one table that has several columns in one row. Using Word the table is setup and the default font is overriden to Courier New (or any font really...the user is in control and the code will never know ahead of time). No text is typed into any column. The docx is saved (all with Word app, no code yet).

This is what the w:tc looks like at this ...

Hi,

I want to generate a docx document with a "first" and "default" headers using docx-2.8.1. Unfortunately, the resulting docx when opened in Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 the "default" header appears on the first page instead of the "first" header. The generated docx is attached. The first page's header should say "Cover header text" but instead is says "Content header text".
The problem can be reproduced by running the following code:
