An unexpected error occurred.

The supplied data appears to be in the OLE2 Format. You are calling the part of POI that deals with OOXML (Office Open XML) Documents. You need to call a different part of POI to process this data (eg HSSF instead of XSSF)

Please contact system administrator.

    I figured it out.  It was a word doc that was wrapped with MS AIP.
