2.1.240 Section 15.5.23, Paragraph Background Color

The standard defines the attribute fo:background-color within the element <style:paragraph-properties>: WordPad supports this on Read by mapping the value of this attribute to the character background color, maintaining the priority of the character background color if any has been specified in a text style. On Save, the value of the attribute is saved by using the corresponding attribute for the character background color, namely an attribute on the <style:text-properties> element.
