> We are using Tika 1.11 to extract text from msword documents, and there are a
> few errors occurring when processing some docs.
> This ticket relates to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1733
> however in this case there is an unexpected NullPointerException and not a
> clear indication of the error.
> Processing a saved copy of the document solves the error altogether. A
> difference found between the two documents was that the
> _(HWPFDocument)document.getRange()_ returned different values.
