    I'd like to be able to totally remove the field codes in a given document. In EndNote's system, this creates an entirely separate document where all references and macros have been replaced with absolute text.

    This means that when I send a document to a technophobe professor running an old or borked version of a text editor, I don't have to worry about him/her coming across field codes rather than references.

    I'm new to Zotero, and there may yet be a way to do this, but I don't see it on the list of macros.

    Thanks!

    In Word, you can select all the text in the document then press ctrl-shft-F9. This will flatten all the field codes. I'm not sure how to do this in OpenOffice.

    Caution: at the present time there is no way to restore the codes to Zotero friendly codes, so only do this when you completely finished with the document AND the bibliography.

    How do you do this on Word 2004 Mac?

    Try selecting the text of which you want to flatten the fields, and press CMD + Shift + F9.
