Stefane, I tried to reproduce the bug, but steps are not clear to me. 1. I opened the attached file from comment 3 in LO Writer and MS Word. Colors are the same. 2. I saved file in wrtier as docx file and reopened it. Colors are still the same. I used Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: eeb2d19e77d6dc47c68e8ba0920a02cf64a1247b CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: threaded So Please provide a clearer set of step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce the problem. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the steps are provided.
Oh! Gotcha. I'm using 6.2.8.2 (x64) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create new LibreOffice Writer Document 2. Write some text 3. Select characters 4. Click on "Highlight Color" Tool 5. Click on Custom Color... 6. in "Hex #:" textarea, write: eca4ff 7. Click Ok 8. Save As 9. In "Save as type:" choose "Word 2007-2019 (*.docx)" 10. Save File 11. Reopen File That's it!
The docx format has only some special colors as "highlighting" and your eca4ff does not belong to them and a nearby color is used. If you want eca4ff as color, you need to use it as ordinary background color. LibreOffice has a switch for that. Go to Tools > Options > Load/Save > Microsoft Office. Set the option 'Export as' from 'Highlighting' to 'Shading' in section 'Character Highlighting'.
No Way!!!... Thank you!!!
