title: Generating DOC (and DOCX) templates using Python or Java with absolute positioned boxes
body: <p>For a web-to-print we need to generate a .doc (Microsoft Word 2003+) compatible templates/documents where we need to position some data inside the document (basically we need to auto-generated letter heads for address, phone, contact information etc.).</p>
  
  <p>Which Python or Java based solutions can be used here that providing support for absolute positioning of text boxes in .doc (perhaps even through .DOCX).</p>
  
  <p>We tried: XFC (FO-based which does not support absolute positioning) and tried Aspose Words for Java (also no support for absolute positioning).</p>
  
  <p>Money does not play a major role. The solution has to work and it must not be open-source.</p>
  
  <p>Any more options?</p>
