Tim Allison created TIKA-1958:
---------------------------------

             Summary: Add mime detection and lightweight parsers for Office 
2003 Word and Excel formats
                 Key: TIKA-1958
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1958
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Tim Allison
            Priority: Minor


Over on POI, a user asked if we supported 2003 xls (xml) files.  It would be 
neat if we could add mime detection and a "good enough" parser to handle 2003 
xls and doc files.

This could be a great task for someone wanting to get started in contributing 
to Tika.
