Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): * Debian 7 with LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 Build ID: 350m1(Build:2); * Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS with LibreOffice 3.5.7.2 Build ID: 350m1(Build:2) * Ubuntu 12.10 with Version 3.6.2.2 (Build ID: 360m1(Build:2)); * openSUSE 12.3 "Dartmouth" with Version 3.6:build-304 (Build ID: 360m1(Build:304)); * Fedora 18 with Version 3.6.6.2 (Build ID: 3.6.6.2-5.fc18); * Fedora 19 with Version 4.0.3.1 (Build ID: 4.0.3.1-2.fc19) and Version 4.0.3.3 (Build ID: 4.0.3.3-1.fc19); * Ubuntu 13.04 with Version 4.0.2.2 (Build ID: 400m0(Build:2)); * Windows 7 Starter SP1 with LibreOffice 4.0.2.2 (ID сборки 4c82...49c3) and Версия 4.0.3.3 (ID сборки: 0eaa50a932c8f2199a615e1eb30f7ac74279539). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a DOC/DOCX document with some text and mark in LibreOffice Writer. 2. Use highlighting yellow marker from toolbar to mark some words. 3. Save document. 4. Open document in MS Word 2003+ and try to change higlight color from yellow to white. 5. Yellow highlighting is still present. There is only one way to remove it - change/remove its style from Styles and formatting sidebar. Expected results: Highligting must be changed as it done in MS Office - via Highligting button, not from Styles. Additional info: This bug has 9 years history.

I am not sure this is a bug --- could be simply a basic incompatibility in the design of the "OO.org" dinasty and the MS suite[1], but it is surely the most important (IMHO) interoperability problem, simply because it will bit you *for sure* ("Please comment on the highlighted part" --- "hey, I an unable to undo the highlighting, what have you done?"). Romano [1] explication: I digged the RTF files and MS Word uses two different properties for background and highlighting, the latter with precedence on the former. Not being a developer, I do not know if LO has the separate concept... if no, I understand this could be almost impossible to fix (think backward compatibility of the files).

Anyway, the most important is it seems we got an incompatibility here. Any idea?

I can not remove highlighting in Word using DOCX and highlighting marker. What I did: 0. Open LibreOffice Writer 4.2 1. I wrote some text 2. Set a highlight of its fragment 3. Got yellow highlight of selected fragment 4. Saved this file as fdo64490.odt (Ctrl+S) and fdo64490.docx (Ctrl+Shift+S) 5. Opened fdo64490.docx with Microsoft Office Word 2007 (12.0.6683.5001) SP3 MSO (12.0.6683.5000) 6. I tried to remove highlighting with white marker But highlightment remains. 7. If I try to remove higlightment with background button – it works So I do not know what was changed as it works like before. Highlightning is replaced by shading (background) again. I created two attachments - fdo64490.odt (full diary with screenshots) and fdo64490.docx (exported docx - from step 5).

I didn't even know that LibreOffice has a highlight feature (and as I see by know it's just a toolbar item working as a simple character background, not a really existing feature). So the bug isn't solved, however my patch contains implementation of a highlight attribute so the next step should be to link the toolbar item with this new attribute instead of character background and then it will be exported/imported well to/from DOCX. So I reopen the bug.

Just notice that this bug is here since the start of time --- the linked bug on apache.org is from 2004, but I am sure there are traces of it before that date. I was trying to find the One of the problems is that this is not really a bug; it's a difference in design between OO and derivatives and MS Office and so it can be marked as a "interoperability problem". It has been repeatedly marked as a low-importance issue; I am still advocating that this problem is the *main* reason I have to run MS Office under Crossover in my daily job. So my humble opinion is that this issue should be marked as very important (as is in bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37540 ). Thanks!

BTW, the problem is not here since 3.3.2 as stated in the bug #37540; it's here from the start of time (I have a report from 2004 against OO.org, but it's older). I start to think that this is some fundamental difference by design and it is not easily fixable.
