Description Kesavan Janakiraman 2003-07-19 04:59:40 UTC 
Hi

I am getting ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException while trying to convert word 
document into text. I am able to convert most of the documents. But only for 
some particular documents i am not able to do. Please help me to solve this 
problem. This is very much high priority issue.

The exception is occured at the following piece of code.
****************************************

WordDocument wd;
wd = new WordDocument(origFileName);

****************************************

The output obtained is as follows....

Title: ""
Error reading document:/usr/tmp/interface_10415.doc
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

Thanks in Advance
Kesavan

We are in the middle of a complete rewrite of HDF (and name change to HWPF). 
If all you want is to extract text from a Word 97/2000/XP document, there is a 
library at http://www.textmining.org
