The following example shows how to set a background color for inline text using a TextStyle.

import com.independentsoft.office.odf.AttributedText;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.Paragraph;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.TextDocument;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.styles.TextStyle;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            TextDocument doc = new TextDocument();

            TextStyle yellowBg = new TextStyle("T1");
            yellowBg.setBackgroundColor("#FFFF00");
            doc.getAutomaticStyles().getStyles().add(yellowBg);

            TextStyle cyanBg = new TextStyle("T2");
            cyanBg.setBackgroundColor("#00FFFF");
            doc.getAutomaticStyles().getStyles().add(cyanBg);

            AttributedText highlightedSpan = new AttributedText();
            highlightedSpan.setStyle("T1");
            highlightedSpan.add("yellow highlighted");

            AttributedText cyanSpan = new AttributedText();
            cyanSpan.setStyle("T2");
            cyanSpan.add("cyan highlighted");

            Paragraph p1 = new Paragraph();
            p1.add("Normal text, ");
            p1.add(highlightedSpan);
            p1.add(", and ");
            p1.add(cyanSpan);
            p1.add(" text.");
            doc.getBody().add(p1);

            doc.save("c:\\test\\output.odt", true);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
