Description

Hello guys, I am really sorry to post issue like this because I have no other way of contacting you and I don't quite understand how you manage forks and pull requests (I don't think you do that). Plus I don't know your coding styles and stuff.

In my project I needed for tika to parse numbered lists from word .doc documents, but TIKA doesn't support it. So I looked for solution and found one here: http://developerhints.blog.com/2010/08/28/finding-out-list-numbers-in-word-document-using-poi-hwpf/ . So I adapted this solution to Apache TIKA with few fixes and improvements. Anyway feel free to use any of it so it can help people who struggle with lists in TIKA like I did.
