>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3008
>             Project: Tika
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: parser
>    Affects Versions: 1.23
>            Reporter: Cristian Vat
>            Priority: Major
>
> Word extraction from .doc/.docx doesn't handle Superscript/Subscript at all.
> This changes the actual text extracted since character runs are merged together if only sup/sub is the difference since it doesn't generate any tags in between.
> Found to be especially problematic in case of some legal documents where getting "according to Art 51" instead of "according to Art 5^1^" completely changes the meaning.
>  
> Problem seems to be both in old Word .doc and OOXML .docx formats parsing.
> Sub/sup can be present on actual character run or on the document style assigned to a character run.
>  
> I'm already working on fixes and test documents, will comment with work in progress branch.
