This looks like an area for a new feature in both Tika and POI. I've only looked very briefly into the POI libraries, and I may have missed how to extract text from autoshapes. I'll open an issue in both projects.

I'd like to extract autoshape text in Excel 2007+(.xlsx), but I can't. I tried to extract from some MS office files. The results are below. Success (I can extract autoshape text.) - Excel 2003(.xls) - Word 2003(.doc) - Word 2007+(.docx) Failed (I cannot extract autoshape text.) - Excel 2007+(.xlsx) Is this a bug? If you know, could you tell me how to extract autoshape text in Excel 2007+? Thanks, Hiro.
