Validate Document

Dear All,

Can I use POI API to validate whether it is a valid Word, Excel, Powerpoint
document ?? If I can, what API should I use ?

Regards,

Feris

Can you not just try and open it with the appropriate handler (eg 
HSLFSlideShow for powerpoint), and see if any exceptions are thrown? If 
you don't get any, there's a fair chance it's a valid document
