I have been able to loop through all paragraphs in a document and get at the text and everything and I have read and understood how you can create a document from scratch. But how can I update and replace the text in a paragraph? I can do createRun
in a paragraph but that will just create a new piece of text in it.
...
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("Muu.docx");
XWPFDocument myDoc = new XWPFDocument(fis);
XWPFParagraph[] myParas = myDoc.getParagraphs();
...
My theory is that I need to get at the existing "run" in the paragraph I want to change, or delete the paragraph and add it again) but I cannot find methods to do that.

You can't change the text on a XWPFParagraph directly. A XWPFParagraph is made up of one or more XWPFRun instances. These provide the way to set the text.
To change the text, your code would want to be something like:
That will ensure you only have one text run (the first one), and will replace all the text to be what you provided.
