Convert citations to rich text in Word

Hi All,

Does anyone know if it's possible to convert Bookends citations into rich text in Microsoft Word? I'd like to strip my citations from being recognized as fields after scanning my document.

Thank you!

Re: Grayed out fields?

Grayed out fields?

Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me understand why my reference fields are sometimes grey and other times black. More importantly, how to I make them always appear in black?

I have included a screenshot for reference.

Thanks,

Michael
