(Get the code!)
My colleague just noticed this issue like this:
"I never can remove color highlights in your *** documents made in your *** LibreOffice... Throw it in ***"... And so on...
The bug happens not only when you export as DOC, but also when you export as DOCX and then edit it in Office 2007 or 2010...
Additional info:
There are two buttons on the toolbar in Word 2010 – one changes highlight color and the other changes text background color (Word2003 has only one of those)
1. Make a document in LibreOffice that consists of 3+ paraghraph
2. Highlight ENTIRE central paragraph yellow
3. Save as DOC or DOCX
4. Open in Office 2007-2010
5. Enable display hidden characters (!)
6. Try to remove highlighting (background color)
a) Select the entire paragraph with the paragraph sign in the end. Change text background option using the control on the panel. Doesn't work.
b) Select the entire paragraph with the paragraph sign in the end. ... Does work.
Anyway, most people, when they see highlighted text in MS Word, assume it is "highlighted text", not "text background"... The second option is hidden deep in MS Word 2007-2010 and nonexistent in MS Word prior 2003...
