How to unlink Zotero from Word in iOS

Pengyao1010
I was trying to insert a citation in Word for IOS, but I made some mistake and it didn't work. After that, all the text that I copied and pasted in Word was surrounded by square brackets [ ], and I cannot remove them. Is it possible to solve this problem by unlinking Zotero and Word?

    This wouldn't be related to Zotero.

    If it's what it sounds like, it's an ancient bug in Word for Mac when you have certain third-party utilities installed on your system and copy from Word — Word creates bookmarks around the selected text. You can go to the bookmarks list in Word and delete the OLE_LINK bookmarks.

    Various utilities that interact with the clipboard can trigger this. E.g., I've always gotten this because I use LaunchBar, which has a clipboard manager.
