I tested many versions of LibreOffice and AOO on different OSes: * Debian 6 with "OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 OOO320m19 (Build:9505) ooo-build 3.2.1.4, Debian package 1:3.2.1-11+squeeze8"; * Windows 7 Starter SP1 with "OpenOffice.org 3.4.1 AOO341m1 (Build:9593) - Rev. 1372282"; * 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).
My conclusion - both AOO and LO have not fixed this bug for 9 (nine !!) years. Please fix it. It's very annoying, and it may scare away users, which are going to switch from Microsoft Office to Apache OpenOffice. And as Romano Giannetti said it's "Still a big problem in interoperability". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to openoffice.org in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295014 Title: [Upstream] Cannot remove highlight from .doc in Word exported from Writer Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Confirmed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “libreoffice” package in Debian: New Status in “libreoffice” package in Fedora: Unknown Status in “libreoffice” package in openSUSE: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org-core 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main i386 Packages 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages 3) What is expected to happen in documented exported from Writer opened in Word via the Terminal: cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/295014/+attachment/410599/+files/test_highlight.doc && wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ Office/OFFICE11/WINWORD.EXE test_highlight.doc click the Highlight button -> No Fill and the highlight is removed. 4) What happens instead is the highlight is not removed.
