Bug: 4.1 RC2: Print/Export does not preserve visual filter or highlighting colors
Print/Export preserves highlighting and visual filter colors in the Preview window, but if you copy to clipboard or export to Word (via RTF) or HTML, you lose the coloring. It is preserved for XPS format only.

Word and HTML are "lo-fi" formats that can't reproduce the full range of highlighting Logos 4 supports (without exporting it as a bitmap). Currently, no highlighting is exported (for consistency and simplicity), rather than trying to export just the parts (e.g., font colour & size but not glow/shadow, single but not double underline, solid backgrounds but not highlighter backgrounds, etc.) that are supported by the destination format.

OK, I see why that would be difficult. Hard to explain to people who only ever use lo-fi highlighting colors and single underlines, though. Maybe there could be a compromise, with an option in the Highlighter panel to "export limited highlighting" vs. "export no highlighting" (Help would need to explain what this means). But it would probably end up being more of a support hassle than just saying "can't do it."
