@Björn --- you are right, sorry. To add something constructive, I mention I have a workaround if the file is sufficiently simple to be able to save it in RTF:
1) save the file in RTF format 2) open it with a text editor (vi, gedit) 3) substitute all occurrences of "\chshdng0\chcfpat0\chcbpat7" to "\highlight7" 4) Save it. Now Word is (usually) able to edit the highlight in the file. I tested it only with simple files --- so YMMV. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295014 Title: [Upstream] Cannot remove highlight from .doc in Word exported from Writer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/295014/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
