FILESAVE as word 97-2003 doc Format saves highlighted text not correct.

When opening the file with word2000, 2003 or 2010 the text is not
highlighted but has a colored background.

This behaviour is independent of the source of the highlightening
(imported from Word or highlighted in Libreoffice or Openoffice).

However, when opened in Libreoffice/Openoffice the text is recognized
correct as highlighted text and not as background.

This behaviour is included in LibO 3.4 RC1

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...

I have dug a bit more into the problem, and the matter is that it seems
that OO (or LO) do not have the duality background-highlighting that MS
Word has , so I suppose the problem is not so easily solved.

I did found a rtf + grep hack to solve the problem, but it's still a bad
hack.

More details are in:

So yes, please solve this. It is a major interoperability problem.

To simplify things, I copy here my findings too:

I saved (from MS Word) the file in RTF format. The sequence, highlighted
by MS, which works (you can remove the highlight) is like that:

{\rtlch\fcs1 \af37 \ltrch\fcs0 
\lang1033\langfe1025\highlight7\langnp1033\insrsid5522236\charrsid3873419 
\hich\af37\dbch\af37\loch\f37
This text has been highlighted with Microsoft Word 2007}

The sequence that you cannot modify is this one:

{\rtlch\fcs1 \af37 \ltrch\fcs0
\lang1033\langfe1025\chshdng0\chcfpat0\chcbpat7\langnp1033\insrsid5522236 
\hich\af37\dbch\af37\loch\f37 This text has been modified and highlighted with 
O\hich\af37\dbch\af37\loch\f37 penoffice (version 1:3.2.0-7ubuntu4.1, Ubuntu 
Linux 10.04 up-to-date).
}

Note that if I change "\chshdng0\chcfpat0\chcbpat7" to "\highlight7" in
the rtf file, then MS Word can edit it correctly.

The command:

sed 's/\\chcbpat/\\highlight/g' < in.rtf > out.rtf

makes a editable file. Saved my day.

Created attachment 54486
Example text with bug

In the zip file there are:
Sottolineatura_WO.doc => Original file made with MS Word
Sottolineatura_LO.doc => the same after saved with LO Writer

The bug is:
Ms_Word doesn't use "shading" text property for underline text, while LO_Writer 
uses it.
