             Summary: Tika detecting/parsing pptx with embedded Excel worksheet(s)...

             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: detector, parser
    Affects Versions: 1.17
         Environment:  
            Reporter: Brian McColgan
         Attachments: foo.out, pptEmbedExcelDoubleClickFromWorkbook.PNG, pptEmbedExcelInEmptyWorkbook.PNG, tikaSample.pptx

Hello tika-developers,

First, a big 'thank-you' for creating and maintaining Apache-Tika!  A really useful capability/service that can be used in so many different ways.  You folks are the true Debabelizer (h2g2.com).

On to issue-encountered: using Tika 1.17 to extract an embedded Excel object out of a pptx is causing issues.  Simple example attached to this Jira-issue ([^tikaSample.pptx]) which if run against Tika 1.17 (with verbose/list-parsers/list-detectors) provides the output in ([^foo.out]).  The deck contains a title slide, and a single-slide with embedded Excel object on it.

As noted to [~gagravarr] on S-Overflow, I grabbed the unit-test data which you use in your parser/office JUnit suite (test_ppt_embedded_two_slides.pptx) and tried opening in Office/PPT 2016.  I selected (with mouse) the embedded sheet (had Alfresco logo in it) and pasted it into an empty Office/Excel 2016 workbook.  When I tried to interact with it, I had to double-click to make it active.  As a result, I ended up with two Excel instances on my Windows 10 desktop (the original object in 1, the Excel worksheet in another).  I have included a picture of the embedded Excel object pasted into the workbook... !pptEmbedExcelInEmptyWorkbook.PNG! ).

followed by the worksheet opened inside the workbook (required double-click within the black-bordered area in the first pic above):
