See JCR-1887 [1] for a patch that adds support for indexing Office
2007 documents.

Alternatively, the latest trunk of Apache Tika [2] also supports
Office 2007, and you can the jackrabbit-tika sandbox component [3]
allows you to set up Tika as a text extractor in Jackrabbit.

We will most likely have Office 2007 support built in when Jackrabbit
1.6 is released.
