MS word doc containing tracked changes produces incorrect text
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-207
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-207
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Bug
Components: parser
Affects Versions: 0.3
Environment: tika-0.3-standalone.jar
Reporter: Michael McCandless
Priority: Minor
Spinoff from this discussion:
http://n2.nabble.com/getting-text-from-MS-Word-docs-with-tracked-changes...-td2463811.html
When extracting text from an MS Word doc (2003 format) that has
unapproved pending changes, the text from both old and new is glommed
together.
EG I had a doc that contained text "Field.Index.TOKENIZED", and I
changed TOKENIZED to ANALYZED with track changes enabled, and
then when I extract text (using TikaCLI) it produces this:
Field.Index.TOKENIZEDANALYZED
So, first, it'd be nice to at least get whitespace inserted between
old & new text.
And, second, it'd be great to have an option to control whether it's
old or new text that's indexed (or at least an option to only see
"new" text, ie the current document).
>From the discussion above, it seems like POI may expose the
fine-grained APIs to allow Tika to do this; it's just that Tika's not
leveraging these APIs for MS Word docs.
