try {

    fs = new FileInputStream("C:\\DATASTORE\\test.docx");
    //XWPFDocument hdoc=new XWPFDocument(fs);
    XWPFDocument hdoc=new XWPFDocument(OPCPackage.open(fs));
    //XWPFDocument hdoc=new XWPFDocument(fs);
    extractor = new XWPFWordExtractor(hdoc);

This is covered in the Apache POI FAQ! The entry you want is I'm using the poi-ooxml-schemas jar, but my code is failing with "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openxmlformats/schemas/something"

The short answer is to switch the poi-ooxml-schemas jar for the full ooxml-schemas-1.1 jar. The full answer is given in the FAQ

Thank you so much. After changing the jar as you recommended i'm getting the output.It's working!!!!. If you have any clue on how to parse docx content please help me out. I have to finding the exact word in the file and need to modify it.

Look at the examples that ship with Apache POI, and the text extractors in Apache POI, they should give you lots of similar code to look at. If that doesn't help, you'll need to ask a new question

For reading excels or docx file if you want to solve errors you need to add all jars then you wont get any error.
