<pre>Microsoft only allows 15 colors to be used as highlight colors in both .doc and
.docx, so this is a format limitation bug that isnt ours.

Users being able to modify the highlighting is the most important thing, so i'd
stick with this by default.

We already give users the 'Confirm File Format' dialog when not saving to ODF,
which does state 'This document may contain formatting or content that cannot
be saved in the currently selected file format'. We could go beyond this, if
devs are interested in implementing it, and create a dialog similar to the MS
compatibility checker.
