I did run down the issue. And it's a case of tired coder. I wasn't creating a new document object in the method I was using to handle word documents.

Thanks very much for the links guys, I appreciate it!

if i'm reading that sentence correctly, then you are saying that you've
tried isolating your MS-Word text extraction from your Lucene indexing and
confirmed that the MS-Word text extraction is working.

This is a very good first step.

Now if you want to be certain that your indexing is working correclty, i
suggest you try using a tool like Luke to check exactly what terms re
being stored in your index.  I'm guessing that the problems you are having
are a result of "analysis paralysis" as i've seen it called many times...

This wiki covers a lot of things you should check...
