Lucene doesn't actually support any of the document types. What happens is that some program is used to parse the files into an indexable stream and that stream is indexed. That used to be POI in the old days.
I confess I haven't used the latest demo, but I assume that under the covers there's some program installed that Microsoft documents are pushed through to get indexable tokens. So the real question is whether that program handles the documents you're interested in. I know this isn't very helpful, but you'll have to dig into this in some detail if you really want to index Microsoft documents. If you don't need to, then you don't need to waste time on this issue.
