Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
I have made a file, clean.doc, with MS Word for Windows 2007.
Then I edited the file in Openoffice.org, version 1:3.2.0-7ubuntu4.1,
and added few char and highlighted a couple of words; saved the file as
a .doc.
Opening again the file in MS Word, I discovered that the highlighting
made with OO.org is permanent. It is impossible to remove (select the
background icon, set it no color, nothing happens). You have to delete
the text and rewrite it, or copy as text to delete the highlighting in
word. This is a very nasty interoperability problem.
The highlighting done in word is editable both ways. Saving the file in
.odt and opening it in Word (with the appropriate filter) does not solve
the problem.
Problematic file attached. Thanks!
