I have searched news groups and othe major Java fora but got no
definitive answer. I don't specify any specific doc format like RTF or
HTML, just a generic JTextPane that includes text, attributes, images
and other sub components. How to save it onto a file and load back it
onto a new JTextPane?

do a getText and save that the way you would any other string,
perhaps with a Writer, a ObjectStream, or a DataOutputStream.

see http://mindprod.com/applet/fileio.html
for sample code.

Don't try to serialize the JTextPane itself. You won't necessarily be
able to read it back under a different version of Java.
