I've been having a lot of success reading Word docs with the XWPF set of
classes. I am having a problem with one document and I need to know if there
is a way to get the one word that is missing.
The document was originally a .doc and I converted it to a .docx using my
current copy of Word. (This was done because I didn't want to have to fight
my way through the HWPF stuff having already used XWPF.)
I am using POI 3.8 beta 4 for the poi, poi-ooxml and poi-xml-schemas jars.
I open the document with
XWPFDocument doc = new XWPFDocument( is); // is
is a FileInputStream on top of a File
I iterate over the list of BodyElements and use a combination of table
header rows and paragraphs with their style to find the tables I need to
harvest.
One table has a problem with a cell that shows up in the Word document as:
Phase transition:
Departure to Mission
The word "Mission" is not present in the XWPFTableCell's getText() method,
or if I get the cell's paragraphs or runs.
In browsing around while tracing, I noticed the following hierarchy:
1) XWPFTableCell has field
2) paragraphs - an ArrayList<E>
3) elementData Object[10]
4) [0] XWPFParagraph
5) paragraph CTPimpl
When I select the paragraph field, the following XML shows up in the box
below the variables (in Eclipse debug).

<w:t>Mission</w:t>

</w:smartTag>
</xml-fragment>
Note, the three highlighted lines show the whole block of text. The word
"Mission" however, is not returned. I see that it is tagged as a smarttag
with element name of City.
Is there a way to read the content of this block? I'm sure the creator of
this document would not know what to do if I said "Please recreate it
without using a smarttag for "Mission". (I would not know what to do
either.)
Any light you can shine on this would be appreciated.
