If the needed format is HTML, then Word text content together with Office MathML equations can be read the following way.
In Reading equations & formula from Word (Docx) to html and save database using java I have provided an example which gets all Office MathML equations out of an Word document into HTML. It uses paragraph.getCTP().getOMathList() and paragraph.getCTP().getOMathParaList() to get the OMath elements from the paragraph. This takes the OMath elements out of the text context.
If one wants get those OMath elements in context with the other elements in the paragraphs, then using a org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlCursor is needed to loop over all different XML elements in the paragraph. The following example uses the XmlCursor to get text runs together with OMath elements from the paragraph.
The transformation from Office MathML into MathML is taken using the same XSLT approach as in Reading equations & formula from Word (Docx) to html and save database using java. There also is described where the OMML2MML.XSL comes from.
The file Formula.docx looks like:

Result:
Just tested this code using apache poi 5.0.0 and it works. You need poi-ooxml-full-5.0.0.jar for apache poi 5.0.0. Please read https://poi.apache.org/help/faq.html#faq-N10025 for what ooxml libraries are needed for what apache poi version.
