Hi.

Recently i’ve found following issue:
run.getFont().getHighlightColor() return black for highlighted runs.

Reproduced:

  • Aspose.Word.Java.11.6.0;
  • Aspose.Word.Java.11.8.0;

Code:

public class T2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Document d = new Document("highlight.doc");

        Run r = null;
        for (Object o : d.getChildNodes(NodeType.RUN, true)) {
            r = (Run) o;
            if (r.getText().equals("Text"))
                break;
        }

        if (r == null) throw new IllegalStateException("Run not found");
        System.out.println(r.getFont().getHighlightColor());
    }
}

Output:
java.awt.Color[r=0,g=0,b=0]

Document highlight.doc attached.

Hi Yohan,

Thanks for your inquiry. The text inside shared document has not highlighted text. The text has shading. Please see the attached image file for detail and read following documentation links for your kind reference.

https://reference.aspose.com/words/java/com.aspose.words/Shading
https://reference.aspose.com/words/java/com.aspose.words/Font

Document d = new Document(MYDir + "highlight.doc");
Run r = null;
for (Object o : d.getChildNodes(NodeType.RUN, true))
{
    r = (Run)o;
    if (r.getText().equals("Text"))
        break;
}
if (r == null) throw new IllegalStateException("Run not found");
System.out.println(r.getFont().getHighlightColor());
System.out.println(r.getFont().getShading().getBackgroundPatternColor());
System.out.println(r.getFont().getShading().getForegroundPatternColor());
