Yes, that was it. Thank you, Jon. I remember now experimenting with exporting some references to BibTex, but didn't realize that changing that setting for the export would stick. I've got it back to the way I'm used to now.

I've just noticed that the formatting of my references in the "Formatted" pane has changed from something like this: Barzun, Jacques. The Culture We Deserve: A Critique of Disenlightenment . Wesleyan, 1989. (but in Times) to: Barzun, Jacques.\emph{ The Culture We Deserve: A Critique of Dis...
