  3) What is expected to happen in documented exported from Writer
  opened in Word via the Terminal:

  cd ~/Desktop && wget
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/295014/+attachment/410599/+files/test_highlight.doc
  && wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Microsoft\
  Office/OFFICE11/WINWORD.EXE test_highlight.doc

  click the Highlight button -> No Fill and the highlight is removed.

  4) What happens instead is the highlight is not removed.

  WORKAROUND: In Excel click Format -> Boarders and Shading... ->
  Shading tab -> click No Fill button -> under Preview change drop down
  Apply to: text -> OK button

  WORKAROUND: Use AbiWord to export documents with highlighting.

  apt-cache policy abiword
