resending : how do i extract bulleted lists from word document

[vemuri phani <me...@yahoo.com>]

I have a word document and I have some bulleted text
in it. I want to extract the text from  it and at the
same time I want to distinguish text that appears in
bulleted list from the one that doesn't.
In other words, I am looking to get all the bulleted
lists that are present in a range/paragraph, the get
to the type of bullets used ( if possible) and finally
to the text.
Is reading bulleted list supported?.
Thanks,
-Pawan.

No idea, sorry.

I think it's fair to say that with HWPF, if you can't find the code, the
feature isn't document, and google doesn't show anything up, then it isn't
supported.

If you do manage to add this in, please do submit the patch, and we'll
try to get it into poi

Thanks

Which properties on the style do I check for the existense of the bullets? I did
some searching in this list and I saw that paragraphProperties.getIlvl() might
have that information, but it's always returning 9, with and without the bullet
list. If bulleted list is in fact not supported, I will look into adding support
for this. I first want to make sure that it is indeed not supported.
Thanks,

Have you tried getting the paragraph, fetching the style for it, then
checking the properties on that?

Otherwise, I'd suggest doing a simple file, one paragraph. Save that, then
take a copy and turn bullets on. Compare the two files with
poifs.dev.POIFSViewer, spot which bit holds the bullet info, then tweak
hwpf to expose that to you
