Hi, that's great info. In fact, I didn't check for fast-saving, yet. So I'll probably go ahead an have a try later...
Good luck for POI, Gregor -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Ackley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 15, 2003 3:35 PM To: Lucene Users List; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Word Documents I have written a library located at http://textmining.org that will extract text from Word documents. I am the author of the Word library in POI btw. This is just a lightweight version because I got sick of everyone asking how to extract text from a Word document. If it doesn't work its because the document is *not* from Word 97 or later or the file was fast-saved. Everytime somebody has problems they send me their files and they turn out to be RTF or Word 95 documents. You can check the format by opening the file in Word then going to Save As. The format of the document will be in the "Save as Type" dropdown. At least in my version of Word it does. -Ryan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregor Heinrich" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Lucene Users List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 15, 2003 9:19 AM Subject: RE: Word Documents > Hi, > > we had some problems using the POI Word filter.
