Answer 1

I needed the same conversion ,after researching a lot found Jodconvertor can be useful in it , you can download the jar from https://code.google.com/p/jodconverter/downloads/list

Add jodconverter-core-3.0-beta-4-sources.jar file to your project lib

  //1) Create OfficeManger Object     
OfficeManager officeManager = new DefaultOfficeManagerConfiguration()
                .setOfficeHome(new File("/opt/libreoffice4.4"))
                .buildOfficeManager();
        officeManager.start();
    // 2) Create JODConverter converter   
        OfficeDocumentConverter converter = new OfficeDocumentConverter(
                officeManager);
// 3)Create DocumentFormat for docx
DocumentFormat docx = converter.getFormatRegistry().getFormatByExtension("docx");
        docx.setStoreProperties(DocumentFamily.TEXT,
                Collections.singletonMap("FilterName", "MS Word 2007 XML"));
//4)Call convert funtion in converter object
converter.convert(new File("doc/AdvancedTable.doc"), new File(
                "docx/AdvancedTable.docx"), docx);
