    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        POIFSFileSystem fs = null;  
         Document document = new Document(); 

         try {  
             System.out.println("Starting the test");  
             fs = new POIFSFileSystem(new FileInputStream("/document/test2.doc"));  

             HWPFDocument doc = new HWPFDocument(fs);  
             WordExtractor we = new WordExtractor(doc);

             document.open();  
             writer.setPageEmpty(true);  
             document.newPage();  
             writer.setPageEmpty(true);  

             String[] paragraphs = we.getParagraphText();  
             for (int i = 0; i < paragraphs.length; i++) {  

                 org.apache.poi.hwpf.usermodel.Paragraph pr = range.getParagraph(i);
                // CharacterRun run = pr.getCharacterRun(i);
                // run.setBold(true);
                // run.setCapitalized(true);

             System.out.println("Length:" + paragraphs[i].length());  
             System.out.println("Paragraph" + i + ": " + paragraphs[i].toString());  

             // add the paragraph to the document  
             document.add(new Paragraph(paragraphs[i]));
