> We seem not to extract the optional hyphen character correctly in
> the Word parser.
> You can create this char in Word by typing ctrl and -.  It's hidden,
> normally; you have to turn on display of formatting marks to see it.
> Ideally we'd get U+00AD (unicode soft hyphen), I think.
> DOC produces a unicode replacement char, which is wrong.
> DOCX and PDF drop the char (which seems acceptable).  RTF produces
> U+2027 (hyphenation point) which also seems OK (in TIKA-683 it will
> produce U+00AD).
> PPT and PPTX work correctly (U+00AD).
> So DOC is the only bug I think -- I haven't dug into what's wrong
> yet...
