Hi,

apache POI is working, and I have extracted the <b>text</b> in a word document(MSWord <b>2003</b>).

But it is not working for MS Word <b>2007</b>. ( The client may use any MS Word format)

I have an other option,

<b>Word Document -

---

(Convert)-----> XML Document -

---

(XML Parser)--

---

> Data(Text, images,etc,...)</b>

I request suggestions and idea on this.

Thanks,

Prabhakar.
