Feature Request - Replace the header by a header defined in another document

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,

First of all thanks for this very useful docx generator.

I wonder if something like this could be possible:
 - one document with only the header, nothing else
 - one template
 - Using XDocReport, the java class adds the header of the 1st document replaces the fields of the template.

Do you think XDocReport could do something like that in the future?
If you do not have the time, I could be interested in coding such a feature.

Hi JA,

Glad that you find XDocRepot usefull.

Compared to other report engine (Birt, Jasper, etc), the main goal of 
XDocReport is to give you the capability to design your report easily with MS 
Word or OpenOffice/LibreOffice. So a non developer should be enable to design a 
report.

Your feature is a kind of merge of several docx and I think it's an hard task. 
I think you could do that with the XDocReport processor to update the original 
docx but  I think it will be hard. Perhaps with POI it should be more easy?

I'm very busy today with other projects so it will hard for me to develop this 
feature, but if you need some information about XDocReport, I could try to give 
you, but my time is very limitated.

Good luck!

Regards Angelo
