Also, see this Stackoverflow thread: What's a good Java API for creating Word documents?

Ok, Thanks, if some Open Office's API can add checkbox, I'm going to use that. – Carlos Aug 04 '10 at 16:55

Apache POI may help you out... http://poi.apache.org/

Although, My experience with this API has been with excel and it appears the Word stuff is less developed. Hope it helps though!

Thanks for your fast answer. Have you added checkbox to the MS Excel file? Anyway, I'll check it out. – Carlos Aug 04 '10 at 16:52
My experience here has been with Excel files however I did notice their section discussing Word so i thought I would at least mention it to you. Sorry for not knowing more about its abilities with M$ Word docs. – Chris Aug 05 '10 at 17:28

You could try JODReports or Docmosis. Both sit over open office and can simplify some of the interactions with OpenOffice. OpenOffice does a pretty impressive job of doc reading/writing and format conversions.
