Frank Seidel commented on TIKA-109:
-----------------------------------

Seems i (still) have this or a very similar Problem. On some Word files i get 
an java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException.
I get this errors a lot since tika 1.5 (1.4 was ok) up to snapshots of 1.7 and 
1.8.
Can somebody help?
