Nick Burch commented on TIKA-1030:
----------------------------------
Excel isn't a page based format, so there's no page information to return
Generally, word doesn't store page information in the file, it normally
computes it on the fly based on the page / printer / font settings. There may
be some paging information in the file, at the very least forced page breaks.
We could like at adding those in, but you won't get the same thing as in a PDF
as the file format isn't set out the same way. (PDF is a page based format,
Word is more similar to something like html in terms of text with styling)
