The text is not in the blue box. It is just normal body text, but it has some "text effects" applied - namely that "No Fill" is applied to the text.

<w:r>
  <w:rPr>
    <w14:textFill>
      <w14:noFill/>
    </w14:textFill>
  </w:rPr>
  <w:t>HOLA</w:t>
</w:r>

This could be emulated in WriterFilter's TextEffectHandler with:
sal_uInt8 TextEffectsHandler::GetTextFillSolidFillAlpha
...
    auto noFillit = aMap.find("noFill");
    if (noFillit != aMap.end())
        return 99;

The GetTextFillSolidFillAlpha function is rather new. It came in LO 7.0 with

    sw: add DOCX import for semi-transparent text

Whether it is worth modifying this function (which affects many other things like glow, shadow etc.) to emulate noFill is the question.

    Hm, this emulation will hurt us one day.
