import com.independentsoft.office.word.WordDocument;
import com.independentsoft.office.word.styles.Style;
import com.independentsoft.office.word.styles.StyleDefinitions;
import com.independentsoft.office.word.tables.Table;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            WordDocument input = new WordDocument("c:\\test\\input.docx");
            WordDocument output = new WordDocument();

            List<Table> tables = input.getTables();

            if (tables.size() > 0)
            {
                output.getBody().add(tables.get(0));

                if(tables.get(0).getStyleName() != null)
                {
                    Style tableStyle = null;

                    for(Style s : input.getStyleDefinitions().getStyles())
                    {
                        if (s.getID().equals(tables.get(0).getStyleName()))
                        {
                            tableStyle = s;
                        }
                    }

                    if(tableStyle != null)
                    {
                        if(output.getStyleDefinitions() == null)
                        {
                            output.setStyleDefinitions(new StyleDefinitions());
                        }

                        output.getStyleDefinitions().getStyles().add(tableStyle);
                    }
                }
            }

            output.save("c:\\test\\output.docx", true);
        	
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
