You may want to look at how JEditorPane works to display RTF, it may
help.

Microsoft has just published the specs of its *.doc files, extremely
complicated I'm told. They are much like a bunch of C structs.

POI may still be under development, but it's also a
very mature and useful library. I last used it three
years ago for reading and writing Excel spreadsheets --
even that long ago, it had everything I needed, and
I never ran into any serious defects.

In short, I suggest taking another look at POI.
