Answer 1

No, you are not doing that.

You are writting a text (ASCII or UTF) file with the String that you use, and assign a .doc extension to the file. A .doc extension does not make your file a word document . MS Word can read automatically text files and show it, but you are not writting (I repeat) a Word file.

Search for a API that allows manipulating/creating Word files to do that (I think Apache has one of them).

Answer 2

As it has already been stated, you create a simple plain-text document, which doesn't support hyperlinks. You should take a look at Apache POI library to create a Rich Text Format document.
