List of Supported Document Formats?

["Keith R. Bennett" <kb...@bbsinc.biz>]

Is there an authoritative list of which versions of which document types are
currently supported by POI?

I'm aware of the message thread on
http://www.mail-archive.com/poi-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg08895.html, and I
know there is some information on the main Poi page
(http://poi.apache.org/).  However, I don't know enough about internal
document formats or the Microsoft products to be able to map the supported
storage schemes (e.g. OLE2) to their respective product versions.  It would
be really helpful to have a list of supported and/or unsupported formats
that I could consult.

Thanks,
Keith

There's something about supported versions on each of the main sub-project 
pages.

http://poi.apache.org/hssf/index.html
"HSSF is the POI Project's pure Java implementation of the Excel
  '97(-2007) file format. It does not support the new Excel 2007 .xlsx
  file format, which is not OLE2 based"

http://poi.apache.org/hwpf/index.html
"HWPF is the name of our port of the Microsoft Word 97(-2007) file format
  to pure Java. It does not support the new Word 2007 .docx file format,
  which is not OLE2 based"

etc
