Tracking down [CSL STYLE ERROR: reference with no printed form.] in bibliography?

With a citation, I can easily pin down which item is causing [CSL STYLE ERROR: reference with no printed form.] in a variety of ways in Microsoft Word. The easiest is to toggle the field code to view the underlying item.

But when the same error occurs in a bibliography in a Word document, tracking own the culprit is really tricky. I tried toggling the error, but it toggles the entire "bibliography" field rather than the individual [CSL STYLE ERROR: reference with no printed form.] error.

Is there any easy way to track down [CSL STYLE ERROR: reference with no printed form.] in a Word bibliography?

    Nothing in Word, but using the same style and adding something like
    <text value="This is a Fallback"/>
    at the end of the bibliography should make this easy, no?
  • How so? How will that lead me to the errant item?
  • uh - it won't, sorry.
    Would first-reference-note-number work? I have no idea if that works in the bibliography, but per specs it should (obviously only if you're using a note-based style).
