(Get the code!)
Binary package hint: openoffice.org-core
Ubuntu release: 8.10 (intrepid ibex)
Package version: 1:2.4.1-11ubuntu2
Expected behaviour: Highlights added to an OO.org Writer document which is saved as Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc) should be removable using Microsoft Word.
What happened instead: Highlights added to a document which is saved as Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc) cannot be removed using Microsoft Word.
Steps to replicate the bug:
1. create a new document in OO.org Writer
2. Add some text
3. Select some text
4. Use the Highlighting tool to add a highlight to the selected text
5. Save the document as Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc)
6. Open the saved document in Microsoft Word (tested versions: Word 2000 version 9.0.2720 and Word 2003 SP3 version 11.8227.8221)
7. Select the highlighted text
8. Use the Highlight tool to choose "None" as the highlight
9. The highlight on the text remains
Note: it is possible to choose a different highlight colour, but not possible to remove the original highlight.
