What does that mean? Are you asking how to create Word addin that adds a button to the UI? — SLaks, Jul 23 '13 at 13:42
Docx is a filetype. Could you please explain what you mean by: **I want to call the one of java method of my java class file from the Microsoft docx type document?** ? — edi9999, Jul 23 '13 at 13:44
I think you will have to write a COM component that's callable from word and then embed the jvm within that component and use JNI to call the java class! P.S. Just because something can be done does not mean it should be done :) — parry, Jul 23 '13 at 13:53
Assuming you mean you want to invoke Java from Word, one way to do it would be to use IKVM to create a DLL, and to invoke that from say a VSTO Word add-in. — JasonPlutext, Jul 25 '13 at 03:32

Microsoft Language for MS docx is Visual Basic, you can't natively call java methods.

You could also execute a shell command to do what you want:

retValue = Shell("command", vbNormalFocus)

One way to do it would be to use IKVM to convert your Java code to a DLL, and to invoke that from say a VSTO Word add-in.

Another way would be to convert your Java code to a web service (SOAP or REST), and call that, either from a Word Add-In, or VBA (ie a Word macro). For SOAP, see for example http://jamesecampbell.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/how-to-consume-web-service-in-microsoft.html
