How to manipulate .doc files

Question

I need to create a small Java desktop application that creates a .doc file for me and writes some text to a file. I found an interesting tool called Aspose, but I saw that it is not free at all. Do you know which java API I can use for this (for free)? Is it possible to do this only with java SE libraries? What do you think is the easiest and fastest way to achieve this?
