DOCX documents has UTF-8 as an inner charset. In order to avoid corruption problems when generating documents and opening them with MS Word, it is necessary to use UTF-8.

All Javadocx packages include a default set up for Eclipse. In case of working with Eclipse on Windows without these initial preferences, it is mandatory to change the predetermined charset to UTF-8:

Window > Preferences > General > Workspace, set "Text file encoding" to "Other : UTF-8"

For more information about working with Eclipse, there's documentation available for consultation on https://stijndewitt.com/2010/05/05/unicode-utf-8-in-eclipse-java/

Other IDEs or editors that don't use UTF-8 may need similar changes.
