I just want to note that until this problem is fixed, I will be forced
to use MS Office 2010 at work, and they are even considering forcing me
to install it on my home computer for when I work from home. I hope it
can be fixed soon. I vowed never to install MS Office on my personal
computer. :( Thanks!

  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 Word click Format -> Boarders and Shading... -> Shading
