I have a paper that has been passed between me and a coauthor a couple of times. The coauthor doesn't use Bookends, so that may be the source of the problem. When I do "scan document" (Word 2018), I get this:
I'm not sure what the problem is, but I am guessing maybe the embedded fieldcodes are corrupted?

The references that seem to be the problem are these: [Silver, 1996; Long and Silver, 2009; Long and Wirth, 2013; Di Leo et al., 2014]. If I expand the fieldcode I get about 3 pages of stuff associated with these references. However I don't know what citation "S" is being referred to, or how best to fix it.

I've been getting similar problems with other references. Do I want to remove all the references and re-add them? Has anyone encountered this before?

Do they have embedded EndNote references as well (that's what gives you enormously long hidden field codes)? If so, removing them may do the trick.

I don't know, but that certainly could be the problem. I will strip out all of the references and re-add them. Thanks Jon.

I found the problem. I have an equation embedded in my Word document that has brackets in it, which was my default citation delimiter. So I've changed the citation delimiter.
