testcase

The attached testcase, when saved as .doc and opened in word 2007, is missing blue text background on page 3 for example

As a result the white-on-blue text becomes white on white and vanishes

Comment 3 Cor Nouws 2016-05-20 15:26:36 UTC
looking at the commit, likely introduced with 5.0
Comment 4 Björn Michaelsen 2016-08-02 11:22:13 UTC
Was this retested on master? Because 587315ebd5e4417e85eb3ffafd978fcddb09b19f looks related, and possibly a fix. => NEEDINFO
Comment 5 Aron Budea 2016-08-15 04:46:51 UTC
Björn, isn't 587315ebd5e4417e85eb3ffafd978fcddb09b19f from 2015-03-21?
Raal confirmed with 5.2 master build (2016-03-27) in Comment 1.

It's not a duplicate. If I open the saved DOC with LO or with MSO 2013 the highlighting is there.
I don't see what causes the issue, but it might be some difference how MSO 2007 handles highlighting property. A workaround can be not to export LO highlighting as MSO highlighting, but as MSO shading. You can change this at Tools -> Options -> Load/Save -> Microsoft Office.

I don't have MSO 2007, so can't test it, but MSO shading used to be imported earlier, so it must be working.

Stripped down testcase

Previous reduced testcase was over simplified. 

I can still reproduce this on MSO 2016 with both the original bugdoc and this stripped-down version.

What's version of your LibreOffice, Luke?
Comment 17 Luke 2019-12-30 00:06:09 UTC
I can still reproduce this with Version: 6.5.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: 122598af564082786f01b4eafdb9f09f0cffdf5f

When my stripped-down and the original test case are saved as Word 97-2003 (.doc) and Opened in MSO 2013
Comment 18 Luke 2019-12-31 15:00:21 UTC
I have verified this bug against Word 2007, 2013, 2016 with LO 6.5. At least with current builds of LO, this does not seem to be related to the version of MS Office used for viewing.


Tamás Zolnai,
Did you test against the original test case or Roman's? I could not get any version of Word to display an exported file correctly with the *default* setting Tools -> Options -> Load/Save -> MSO : "Export as highlighting"
Comment 19 Aron Budea 2020-07-05 22:27:16 UTC
Looks fine in Word after saving as DOC with LO 7.0 beta2, Luke, Nicolas, please retest.

This is the key to reproducing the problem after 7.0 (where the default change to be "export as shading").

The blue background comes from the CHARACTER style Surbrillance. MS Word ignores w:highlight in character styles.

This is fixed in 7.2, most likely by tdf#138345 sw ms export: Char highlight: no export to char-style.  I tested with Word 2016.
