Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
I have made a file, clean.doc, with MS Word for Windows 2007.
Then I edited the file in Openoffice.org, version 1:3.2.0-7ubuntu4.1, and added few char and highlighted a couple of words; saved the file as a .doc.
Opening again the file in MS Word, I discovered that the highlighting made with OO.org is permanent. It is impossible to remove (select the background icon, set it no color, nothing happens). You have to delete the text and rewrite it, or copy as text to delete the highlighting in word. This is a very nasty interoperability problem.
The highlighting done in word is editable both ways. Saving the file in .odt and opening it in Word (with the appropriate filter) does not solve the problem.
Problematic file attached. Thanks!
I saved (from MS Word) the file in RTF format. The sequence, highlighted by MS, which works (you can remove the highlight) is like that:
{\rtlch\fcs1 \af37 \ltrch\fcs0 \lang1033\ langfe1025\ highlight7\ langnp1033\ insrsid5522236\ charrsid3873419 \hich\af37\ dbch\af37\ loch\f37
This text has been highlighted with Microsoft Word 2007}
The sequence that you cannot modify is this one:
{\rtlch\fcs1 \af37 \ltrch\fcs0 langfe1025\ chshdng0\ chcfpat0\ chcbpat7\ langnp1033\ insrsid5522236 \hich\af37\ dbch\af37\ loch\f37 This text has been modified and highlighted with O\hich\ af37\dbch\ af37\loch\ f37 penoffice (version 1:3.2.0-7ubuntu4.1, Ubuntu Linux 10.04 up-to-date).
\lang1033\
}
There are quite a bit of difference (the good one has no chshdnp etc command, and an additional highlight command).
Any help?
