You already have the situation where a LO highlight edit will save as shading (although yes, there is a user setting for that). So MSWord users just need to learn that "paragraph shading" has nothing to do with paragraphs at all. The whole idea of maintaining compatibility MSO->ODF->MSO is rather too far fetched to merit any effort in order to support a horrible MSO "feature". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143557 --- Comment #11 from Luke Deller --- (In reply to Justin L from comment #7) > ODF doesn't (and hopefully never will) have a concept of a 16-color > highlight character property. So not much can be done here unless someone > does that evil thing. Which element did you feel was evil: supporting the concept of character highlighting as distinct from background shading, or the fact that Word only offers 16 choices for the highlight colour? I agree the limitation of colour choice is quite evil, probably a relic of the past. The same limitation used to exist elsewhere, eg table border colour was limited to 16 colours until MS Word 2000. However the concept of highlighting might have merit: I have seen it employed by Word users differently than background shading, with semantics matching a physical highlighter pen. Indeed the online Word documentation says: > Word contains many highlighters to make your text pop off the screen just > as if you were highlighting paper with a fluorescent marker ( from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/apply-or-remove-highlighting-1747d808-6db7-4d49-86ac-1f0c3cc87e2e ) What do you think of adding a loext: (extension) attribute to persist the highlighting information that LibreOffice currently holds in memory in this case? I could maybe look at a patch for that if the concept sounds reasonable. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
