Michael McCandless commented on TIKA-1033:
------------------------------------------
I asked the person who created this test file; here's his answer:
{noformat}
I created the file with my PowerPoint (PowerPoint 2003).
To embed the chart:
1. Select from the menu Insert
2. Select chart (I selected the default chart)
3. Place the chart
{noformat}
> Tika doesn't parse embedded OLE Chart/Graph objects

> I have an example ppt that embeds a chart, but Tika mis-identifies it
> as an XLS document.
> The progID (oleShape.getProgID() in
> HSLFExtractor.handleSlideEmbeddedResources) is MSGraph.Chart.8 ... and
> we seem to detect it as Excel (application/vnd.ms-excel) but then the
> ExcelExtractor hits this exception:
> {noformat}
> org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordFormatException: Unable to construct record
> instance

> Since DelegatingParser silently suppresses all exceptions, when you
> run TikaCLI you won't see any exception nor text extracted, but if you
> run with -z, it will save 1.xls which if you then try to parse with
> TikaCLI hits the above exception.
