I've just encountered this problem of sending a Word doc (saved as Word 1997-2004) to someone with a PC and having the text appear in yellow on their end. I'm using the latest version - 12.1.2. Was this problem not fixed since that discussion?

The problem has not been fixed yet. There was a patch that makes it much
less likely to happen.

But the baby poo yellow text is a result of using Themes: don't, and it
won't happen at all
