--- Comment #19 from Gerald Pfeifer <ger...@pfeifer.com> ---
Thank you, Tamás.

Based on my own experience with bug #131215 I'd make two suggestions:

1. Change the default behavior such that an export from ODT to DOCX
   changes colors as little as possible.

   I now understand there is an option under
     Options -> Tools -> Load/Save -> Microsoft
   re shading vs highlighting, but this is rather hidden and as a user
   the primary expectation is one of interoperability where possible.

2. Timur pointed me to
   https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01130200.html
   which absolutely would not have helped me (without the actual example he
   showed.)

     "Microsoft Office has two character attributes similar to
     LibreOfficeDev character background. Select the appropriate 
     attribute (highlighting or shading) which you would like to 
     use during export to Microsoft Office file formats."

   It would be great to enhance this.  I am not an expert, but definitely 
   volunteer to validate whether any such update would have proved helpful.

   And perhaps the following suggested addition can be a start? 

     "Shading tries to maintain color fidelity between LibreOffice and
     Microsoft Office to the extent possible. Choose this if interoperability
     is your primary concern.  Highlighting uses a brighter color palette when
     exporting to Microsoft Office formats, which makes text stand out more
     strongly while creating more of a visual difference. Choose this is your
     priority is the highlighting effect over visual fidelity."
