Description

I've got an word document (docx) that was written by POI-3.7 and I'm trying to read it back in and I'm getting this NPE:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.tika.parser.microsoft.ooxml.XWPFWordExtractorDecorator.extractHeaders(XWPFWordExtractorDecorator.java:234)

From what I can see, a document may not necessarily have a headerfooterpolicy.
