Michael Trezzi commented on DNA-114:
------------------------------------

Hello,
a preliminary sequencer is done. It lacks some tests and code polish, however the logic is there. Please let me know what you think whether the extracted things are enough:

>From Any MS Office document all metadata are extracted, e.g. Title, Subject, Keywords, Description, number of pages, .....

>From Powerpoint, every slide is sequenced and Slide title, Slide text and Slide thumbnail are extractred.

>From Excel full text and the name of the sheets are extracted.

Future upgrades as Apache POI will evolve, I plan to sequence all Excel chart titles and if I find a reasonable way how a table of contents from Word documents.

> Create MS Office file sequencer

> Create a single sequencer that is capable of sequencing the MS Office files, including MS Word, MS Excel, and MS PowerPoint.  All of the files' standard metadata (author, title, word count, page count, etc.) should be extracted, as should metadata specific to the different kinds of files.  For example, the sequencer should extract all of the content of the Excel spreadsheets, while it should extract at least the slide titles (and ideally thumbnails).
