--- Comment #1 from Nick Burch <ap...@gagravarr.org> ---
There are all sorts of control sequences / fields that can come through in the
text, as the .doc format handles loads of things that way

If you don't want these, and only want the text, then use a util method like
https://poi.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/poi/hwpf/extractor/WordExtractor.html#stripFields%28java.lang.String%29
to have them removed

Note that the javadocs for
https://poi.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/poi/hwpf/HWPFDocumentCore.html#getDocumentText%28%29
explicitly state that you get the fields included in the response. Other
methods (eg via WordExtractor, or Apache Tika) are provided to give
content-text only, for those who want it
