Jukka Zitting updated TIKA-423:
-------------------------------

    Affects Version/s: 0.8
                       0.9
                       0.10

This is still a problem with Tika 0.10 and the latest trunk.

> I created a word document using Word 2007 on a Windows Server 2003 machine (using Remote desktop), it has also happened to someone else using Windows XP, with person names, country names, addresses, and a date. Some of these elements are tagged as "Smart Tags" by Word, and in the output of parsing by Tika, some words disappear.
> So a text fragment like the one below in Word:
> Smart tags typically are names like George Washington, Marilyn Monroe, Napoleon Bonaparte, etc. But they are automatically generated by Word, so it can be difficult to control how they are 
> After running Tika from the command line (on OSX), java -jar /path/to/tika-app-0.7.jar -t /path/to/docx/document.docx > /path/to/output.txt will result in something like:
> Smart tags typically are names like  , , Napoleon Bonaparte, etc. But they are automatically generated by Word, so it can be difficult to control how they are
> Note the missing names George Washington and Marilyn Monroe, Marilyn Monroe was one that was tagged by Word.
> While I've only tried this with Tika 0.7, my understanding is that it has been an issue since 0.3 at least.
> Removing all Smart tags from the document using Autocorrect options in Word will result in the correct output.
