If you're able to share the error log, that could be helpful
However, the file got created by MS Word only, and I doubt if it's 'corrupt'... since both MS Word and LibreOffice can load it fine without any errors or even warnings of any kind -- everything seems to be normal with these apps. I can even use LibreOffice 3.5 to convert it to pdf or to a .zip of xml's.
If you load it in word, and do a save-as, does the new .doc file show the same problem?
Do you/others still feel it could be addressed by a POI upgrade?
You could try with the Tika 1.1 release candidate, that has the latest POI release in it. You could also try dropping in a recent POI nightly build to see if that helps - Tika will upgrade shortly to POI 3.8 beta 6 once that's out
Also, I thought Tika uses POI and would be using POI as a .jar. But looking in Tika sources, I could find only *POI*.java files but no *POI*.jar or *poi*.jar file(s).
Depends how you use Tika. The Tika-App inlines all the dependencies, the Tika OSGi Bundle has them individually as jars in the bundle, or Maven will download them for you
