Tim Allison commented on TIKA-2069:
-----------------------------------
[~jeffswindle], I should point out that the VBAMacroReader is still relatively
new in POI, and there are currently 3 open bugs, one triggered by the docm file
that you submitted.
* [60158|https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60158]
* [59830|https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59830]
* [59858|https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59858]
For now, we'll swallow the exceptions in Tika, but there's much more work to be
done. Patches to POI would be welcomed! :)
