I checked it with the file you provided and here are my findings - pasting with highlight works, but only with specific plugin combinations:

• fontBackgroundColor + tableProperties = works
• fontBackgroundColor + tableProperties + pasteFromOffice = doesn't work
• fontBackgroundColor + pasteFromOffice = doesn't work
• fontBackgroundColor = doesn't work

( I'm using Word 365 MSO 16.0.12730.20252 )

@ankitcodefarm would you be so kind to check and confirm this?

[ankitcodefarm]

hi @FilipTokarski thanks you sir for the comment
I am working on this since last week and
yes I will check and confirm as you derived here in the comment.

Hi @FilipTokarski
Still the issue is there.
I have check at my side I have removed "pasteFromOffice" Plugins form my "ckeditor.js" but still I did not get the stying back when I paste.

I am using (Microsoft Word 2010)
This below is how the "fontBackgroundColor + tableProperties" added in my "ckeditor.js"

import TableProperties from '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-table/src/tableproperties';
import FontBackgroundColor from '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-font/src/fontbackgroundcolor.js';

I have also added this issue on StackOverflow
I added my complete code there.

[FilipTokarski]

That's strange. For me, if I remove pasteFromOffice and leave tableProperties + fontBackgroundColor, rebuild the editor, pasting with highlight works 100%. Maybe it's a case of different MS Word version.
Anyway, the issue is confirmed - pasting highlight doesn't work with PFO plugin enabled.

[Reinmar]

Thanks guys! Let's merge this into #7275.

[ankitcodefarm]

hi @FilipTokarski after removing pasteFromOffice the other styling issue came up like all font get the same size
font size styling is lost, header and other text looks same
in inspect it showing only p tag for every text

can you help me with this?

[FilipTokarski]

Unfortunately until pasteFromOffice is fixed, there will be some trade-off when using it. Without it you will lose ability to paste preserved content from Word, but with it you can stumble upon some highlight and table background color bugs. Also please bear in mind that PFO is not always 100% accurate when pasting content, so I guess the decision how to use it is now up to you.
