Thank you, Nick. If I'm able to do it at the Tika level, I'll try to fold
those back into the Extractor classes in POI. If I need to modify POI... well,
I'll start there and then wait for the next dev release.
Initial googling suggests that I _should_ be able to do this at the Tika level.
And I found POI's NumberFormatter in o.a.p.hwpf.converter, which will be quite
useful in converting numbers to alpha/roman.
Cheers,
Tim

Not sure if we do. I'm not sure, as I haven't looked recently, but I've a
hunch that there will be a special control setting thingy to enable it.
docx will probably cache the last number, not sure about if .doc will or
not

I'd suggest creating some test files, with a mixture of normal and
numbered paragraphs. Have some numbered sets just be a single level, some
multiple levels (eg 1, 1.1, 1.1.1), and some with different styles (eg 1,
I, A). Save as both .doc and .docx. Unzip the docx, and see how it's done.
Add in support for that. Then, look at the doc file format spec, know you
know what the control elements are, then look at adding matching support
to HWPF + interfaces for that
Best case is probably half a day, likely 2+ days work. Budget in some time
to tidy up both HWPF and XWPF code in the areas you work on too...
