Hi Dennis, You will not be able to analyze directly documents in binary format using the UIMA samples. There is no default converter included in the package. So you should first convert them into a text file (using "save as"by example) or implement an external converter within your application.

The bad characters appeared when I took the compiled tutorial and pointed it at a directory of mine, rather than the one that came with the tutorial (no data problems in there!). Could be that there was a jpeg in the directory, or an embedded image in a word document. I'll follow up on that tutorial reference . Thanks. >> >> I just almost had a successful run.
