Steps to Convert Excel to Word Document in Java

1. Establish the development environment to add Aspose.Cells for Java from the Maven repository
2. Load the source Excel file in the Workbook class object that is to be converted to Word in Java
3. Instantiate the DocxSaveOptions class object to customize the conversion process
4. Set the flag to create the output folder if it does not exist
