Thanks for helping, dstillman, but unfortunately that didn't work (Alt F9). And I looked in the Options Advanced settings and the show field codes was not checked.

Tinworm

Please can you confirm that field codes is what I can see, for sure?

5.25am. been up all night. must go and sleep. So if anyone responds, I am very grateful and not ignoring you. Come back to it later, if I can sleep at all

dstillman

Yes, those are field codes. If Alt-F9 (or Option-Fn-F9 on a Mac) isn't working, it's possible the field codes have been converted to flat text. That would generally happen if you incorrectly moved the document between programs/formats, or perhaps if something went wrong with Track Changes and Word corrupted the document.

If you send the file to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread, we can take a look.

Morning dstillman
Thanks very much for your advice. I have done and sent this link to support.

Actually, re-reading your comment I have not sent the actual document, just the link. Will do that now
