I appreciate this is an early-stage project, I'm raising this now to register the use case while priorities are being set. Thank you for all this amazing work you're doing.
Summary:
Text highlight colours applied in PowerPoint should be rendered, editable, and preserved in Euro-Office presentations.
Use case:
I am a teacher with 4+ years of existing PowerPoint lesson slides containing text highlights. Migrating from Windows/PowerPoint to Linux and FOSS is a goal of mine, and Euro-Office is my target replacement. Text highlight compatibility is a hard blocker for that migration. It's hugely useful for helping pupils understand marking criteria.
Current behaviour (OnlyOffice):
- Highlight colours in existing .pptx files are not rendered when opened
- No highlight colour tool is available in the presentation editor toolbar
Desired behaviour:
- Highlight colours in existing .pptx files are rendered correctly on open
- A highlight colour picker is available in the presentation text formatting toolbar
- Highlights are preserved when saving back to .pptx
PowerPoint reference:
Microsoft PowerPoint supports text highlight colours via the Home ribbon, identical to Word's highlight tool. The same feature already exists in Euro-Office's document editor, parity in the presentation editor would close this gap.
