Just use one of the com implementations for java. Most of them come with 
working examples to access outlook,access,excel and so on.

E.g.:

Carsten has already pointed to ActiveX/COM libraries. They are the most 
generic means for accessing other (Windows) applications. If you have 
specific applications you intend to work with, dedicated solutions may 
be easier to work with.

For Star Office there is a dedicated SDK that provides Java support (see 
www.openoffice.org) that should also be platform independent. I have 
only read about it, no idea how well it actually works.

A German Company offers (Open Source) software for accessing Microsoft 
Word (http://www.java400.de/default.html?Javactp.htm). Again, all the 
information I have is from their web site, but not backed by personal 
experience with using the software.

We have used Jacob for accessing the XML editor XMetaL (that now also 
has direct Java support) without encountering any problems.
