Could anyone explain how to get text from .docx files with same indentations in .docx input file?
I tried using TxtSaveOption to preserve the table layout. But i get the following error.

Document document = new Document(fis);
TxtSaveOptions options = new TxtSaveOptions();
options.setSaveFormat(SaveFormat.TEXT);
options.setPreserveTableLayout(true);

                document.save(parentFolder.getPath() + "/" + fileName + ".txt",options );

I assume that table heading with multiple line causes the error.
Can you let me know if the issue has been solved please.
