Tim Allison commented on TIKA-1836:
-----------------------------------
Committed workaround to log rather than throw an exception in POI r1728547.
Once the next version of POI is out and once we integrate that into Tika, this
issue should be "fixed" at the Tika level. The true fix would be to add
parsing for that kind of record in POI...any takers?
> Convertion DOC->TXT failed due to POI issue
