@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.
