title="RESOLVED FIXED - Wrong text highlight color when export document to doc/docx"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=125268">https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125268</a>
I went to the documentation at
<a href="https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01130200.html">https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01130200.html</a>
and found that a little, um, dense:
"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 and guide which choice to make in what case.
I am not an expert, but definitely volunteer to help assess any changes on
whether they would have helped clarify the situation for me as a user.
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 if your
priority is the highlighting effect over visual fidelity."</pre>
