Cause

This issue occurs because a Word document in the 97-2003 format or an Excel workbook in the 97-2003 format that is exported from an SSRS 2008 R2 report or an SSRS 2012 report does not have the necessary information to identify the document type or the workbook type. Therefore, SharePoint Services Search cannot index the document or the workbook.
