[jira] Commented: (TIKA-408) Word 6.0/7.0 documents support in office parser

["Nick Burch (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-408?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12883966#action_12883966 ] 

Nick Burch commented on TIKA-408:
---------------------------------

I've just committed support for basic text extraction from Word 6 and Word 95 files to POI. Once the next POI release has happened, we can enable it with something like:

    try {
        return new WordExtractor(poifsDir, fs);
    } catch(OldWordFileFormatException e) {
        return new Word6Extractor(poifsDir, fs);
    }

(Text Mining doesn't seem to be being updated, and the main website has gone, so using POI is likely to be better long term)
