It works -- we use it to drive Word to create complex
reports.  Word/VBA stored in the Normal.dot and other 
report-specific template files actually create the reports,
but JIntegra marshals the data and the commands from Java
to Word and back.  There's a very active listserv (maybe
an archive -- haven't checked) but by looking at the 
activity and the types of questions being asked, you
can do a lot via JIntegra.  Lots of folks seem to be
using VB and EJBs across JIntegra -- at least the 
subject lines suggest that is what they are doing.
(Note that I don't read all the messages every day.)
