Joseph Vychtrle commented on TIKA-690:
--------------------------------------
I was using tika snapshot so that poi 3.8-beta3 ... Anyway, first of all tika
WordExtractor doesn't extract anything from .doc unless it has paragraphs. I
finally make it work like this :
{code}
private void createDOCDocument(String from, File file) throws Exception {
POIFSFileSystem fs = new
POIFSFileSystem(DOCGenerator.class.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/poi/template.doc"));
HWPFDocument doc = new HWPFDocument(fs);
Range range = doc.getRange();
Paragraph par1 = range.getParagraph(0);
CharacterRun run1 = par1.insertBefore(from, new CharacterProperties());
run1.setFontSize(11);
doc.write(new FileOutputStream(file));
{code}
So that even if you have exactly the same looking .doc, but the text goes
directly into range.insertBefore(); WordExtractor doesn't extract it.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-690
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 0.9, 1.0
> Reporter: Joseph Vychtrle
> Labels: parsing
>
> If I use apache poi's HWPF component to create MS doc, and pass it to
> tika.parseToString(is); it returns just carriage return "\n". I tested that
> with tons of different input text. Adding paragraphs doesn't help.
