The 512 byte thing is a limitation of POIFS I think. I could be wrong
though. Have you tried opening the file with just POIFS?

That would be good when it comes.  It would be nice if it could handle a 'brute
force' mode where in the event of problems, it will just allow the text it can
find to be extracted.  Currently if there is an Exception, I just run a raw
strings parser on the file to fetch what I can.

One problem I found is that files not padded to 512 byte blocks cannot be
parsed, but Words reads them happily.  They seem to be valid in other respects,
i.e. they have the 1Table, Root Entry and other recognisable parts.  Padding the
file to 512 byte boundary with nulls parses OK.
