Can you do that? You can do this with JavaScript, but Java, really? I 
had no idea.

Oh, yuck, feels dangerous. I know that Mr. Davies commented on this, so 
I will not expound on what he said, but, if you unzip your document and 
then start manually creating things and then re-zip the file, that feels 
rather arduous.

I can't help but wonder if there is a way to access the internal storage 
structures directly do to this from a macro (which still would be ugly).

If you do make this work, I am interested to hear about it.
