Created attachment 25597 [details] a patch The OpenXML specification defines in sec. 17.16.23 a w:instrText tag. It contains field codes which are usually uninteresting for consumers of the fulltext. In the XMLBeans model they show up as instances of CText. I suggest that the XWPFParagraph.readNewText method should take this into account. A patch is attached.
