Also, that chapter (7) has been rewritten in the revised Lucene in Action (available through Manning's early access now); it's now based entirely on Tika.

But, note that Tika only just recently is able to extract text from Office 2007 (I think):

    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-152

you'll have to build off of trunk or use the SNAPSHOT from Maven.

Hi,

POI - http://poi.apache.org/
or
Tika (it uses POI) - http://lucene.apache.org/tika

And you can use code from Lucene in Action to index the text with Lucene - http://manning.com/hatcher2 . The code is free to download.
