Jeff Swindle commented on TIKA-2069:
------------------------------------
Desire is for TIKA to extract macro text from Microsoft Office files as it does
metadata and content.
Need is to search for specific signatures that may be present in macros and if
present should be removed prior to distributing document. TIKA would facilitate
the search.
