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)

Change the format to .docx.. you are allowed to do that​


Thanks for replying @Enab Rasool Dar Basmati​ 


Mine is a .docx but I am still getting this error.  This bot used to work about a year go.  Any other ideas?


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


Can anyone give answer for this error?
