> Reporter: August Valera

>
> We have a Microsoft Word doc file with text in the header. That header text
> is not successfully extracted alongside the file content, but converting the
> file to a docx file results in successful extraction.
> Samples are attached, conversion done using cloudconvert.com.
> * [^560702J.doc] Original doc file, missing content
> * [^560702J-converted.docx] Converted to docx file, correct output
> * [^560702J-2x-converted.doc] Docx file converted back to doc, again missing
> content
> h3. Current Behavior
> doc files omit header text. docx files extract header text correctly.
> h3. Expected Behavior
> doc and docx files with identical content in header should result in
> identical output
