-------------------------------------
Summary: Parsing of old Word file causes a TikaException
Key: TIKA-1092
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1092
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Bug
Components: parser
Reporter: Giuseppe Totaro
Priority: Minor
I found an issue with the parse method of
org.apache.tika.parser.microsoft.OfficeParser. This parser generates a Tika
Exception when it try to parse very old file of Microsoft Word.
I think this issue is not a priority because the files that cause the exception
belong to an obsolete format/structure that even new Microsoft Office versions
don't support them, but it's important to know that something wrong about these
outdated types can happen.
I report two links about old types (Microsoft support perspective):
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=922850
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922849/it
For example, the message of TikaException is below:
