The problems with german umlauts should be fixed. I have posted them a patch (see http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14735), and it should be applied now. I havent cross-checked it for now. I currently use POI to index documents with lucene, but i do not use the "standard" way with an lucende-word-document class (like the pdfdocument). For sure, i have had some problems with getting the text from old documents, but in this case my system falls back to an simple "STRINGS" parser (filters any human-readable) char from the document-file. byebye Mario ----- Original Message ----- From: "Borkenhagen, Michael (ofd-ko zdfin)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Lucene Users List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 1:39 PM Subject: AW: my experiences - Re: Parsing Word Docs Ryan, I tried to use texmining to extract text from word97 Documents. Some german characters like "ä", "ü" etc. aren`t parsed correctly, so a can`t use it cause many german words include this characters. I dont know if the reason is textmining or hdf from poi (hssf from poi parses this characters correctly). Do you have any hints for me ?

It should work with no exceptions on any Word 97 doc. If you have any problems then it is from an earlier version (most likely Word 6.0) or its not a word document. If this isn't the case you need to email me so I can fix it and make it better for the benefit of everyone. I plan on adding support for Word 6 in the future.
