public class TakeScreenshots {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
         String dirPath = "d:/file/" ;
         
         //Create folder/directory if not exist.
         File file = new File(dirPath);
            if (!file.exists()) {
                if (file.mkdir()) {
                    System.out.println("Directory is created!");
                } else {
                    System.out.println("Failed to create directory!");
                }
            }

            XWPFDocument docx = new XWPFDocument();
            XWPFRun run = docx.createParagraph().createRun();
            FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dirPath+"doc1.docx");
             
            // Add for loop for example, because here we are capturing 5 screenhots
            for (int counter = 1; counter <= 5; counter++) {
                captureScreenShot( run, out, dirPath);
                TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1);
            }
            System.out.println("Write to doc file sucessfully...");

            docx.write(out);
            out.flush();
            out.close();
            docx.close();

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public static void captureScreenShot( XWPFRun run, FileOutputStream out, String dirPath) throws Exception {

        String screenshot_name = System.currentTimeMillis() + ".png";
        BufferedImage image = new Robot().createScreenCapture(new Rectangle(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize()));
        File file = new File(dirPath + screenshot_name);
        ImageIO.write(image, "png", file);
        InputStream pic = new FileInputStream(dirPath + screenshot_name);
        run.addBreak();
        run.addPicture(pic, XWPFDocument.PICTURE_TYPE_PNG, screenshot_name, Units.toEMU(500), Units.toEMU(350));
        pic.close();
        file.delete();
    }

}
