automatic background color highlighting in OO/Word plugins

lorcat
I do not know if this feature has been already implemented or not. I would be great if one could temporary change color highlighting of citations in the text either by editing .csl (style) or by using a specially dedicated button. Personally, I vote for the button, but working with .csl is an easy option. I like grey highlighting used in OO (featuring special fields), however, there are no easy alternatives for MS Word, as after each addition of a new, refreshing or changing style of the references, previous mark up I have done by means of the Word disappears.
I find it very helpful in writing papers to highlight special fields, like citations, references, it is easier than to read the whole paragraph.

    I believe you can set field highlighting in Word (just as you can in Ooo) -
    this may help:
