Adam Wilmer commented on TIKA-408:
----------------------------------

I see POI 3.7-beta2 with this change is released and the tika dependency 
updated. Is there any update on enabling support for the older word format in 
tika? currently the following exception is being thrown

Caused by: org.apache.poi.hwpf.OldWordFileFormatException: The document is too 
old - Word 95 or older. Try HWPFOldDocument instead?

Happy to offer any assistance if i can be of help.
