citation reference in word document is suddenly written in a yellow colour
Hey everybody, I have been using Zotero for quite a while now in order to write my diploma thesis and so far everything has been working really well. However, today I noticed that whenever I add a citation to my word document, it is no longer written in black as it used to but in yellow. What does that mean? Of course I can easily change the colour to black but it used to do that on its own without me having to change it into black afterwards so I don't really know what's going on.
Also, for quite a while it used to underline the in-text-citations with little dots but that seems to have gone away again.... What was that for?
Thanks for your help in advance!

I'm wondering if for some reason the yellow is caused by the same thing? So check that auto-update references is enabled.
Zotero is a helpful tool. (Grünewald, 2010, p. 12) --> whole reference is yellow.
Zotero is a helpful tool to write a thesis according to Grünewald (2000, p. 12). --> black
According to Grünewald (2010), Zotero is a helpful tool. --> black.
The internals of citation insertion differ depending on whether your citation includes any non ASCII characters (like accented or non-latin characters, e.g. "ü"), which is why you are seeing this difference between different sources.
it's really weird because I cite different sources of the same author called Grünewald, and it only does that to the 2010 reference that I include but not to the others.... meaning, whenever I cite his other work published in 2009, it's not yellow... also, I make references concerning an author called "Jäncke", which works perfectly well even though his name includes an "ä"....
strange...
