            Bug ID: 107793
           Summary: .docx file; multiple highlighted text colours have
                    been saved in one colour.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.2.6.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer

Description:
Creating and saving .docx files in LibreOffice, so others can review and edit
them in their own software (Pages, Office and Google docs). 

I background-highlighted various texts in my files (using the highlight button
and sub-palette viewer), in different colours so that editorial reviews could
be made. However on saving the files, all highlighted texts were converted to
one colour, diminishing all my editorial key/legend for others to refer too.
I.E "Yellow highlighted text is for inputting, orange highlighted text is for
editorial review by the Director", on opening the file, the orange sections had
been converted to yellow.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Copy and paste text on to a new page, from various copy-and-pasted files that
have been compiled from templates old and brand new.
2. Highlight texts in multiple colours
3. Save as a .docx 

Actual Results:  
Re opened and found multiple colour highlights converted to one colour.

Expected Results:
Colours should have saved correctly.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
Thinking about it, the using old templates may be creating a few buggy issues,
perhaps I could copy and paste into an .rtf file, convert to paling text then
copy/paste to libra, its a whole extra process though. If editing in MS Office
saves everything accurately, so there must be a way around for Libre :) 

Also theres no way of opening .pages files in Libre other than resaving through
MS Office as .docx and losing all the previous formatting. 

Good luck and thanks for the great work, if bugs like this get fixed then we
can look at converting the whole of our office set up to Libre, until then, I'm
the office gineapig trying this out first.
