1197963455: active citations not highlighted?

Hi,
I am working on a .docx, introducing references that became flatten on a prior version of the document.
As I insert the references, most of them remain highlighted in grey as I include new ones, but every so often , some references will not be highlithed grey, still the reference list at the end of the text appears to include them.
Given that I am already spending a lot of time reintroducing references that were flattened for no apparent reason, I want to make sure that I will not have to re do this.
The report ID I shared: 1197963455
There is no apparent error, but I want to make sure I will not have to re-do this work again.
Question: Once I have included the references through Zotero, saved the document as a .docx, can I keep modifying the document (without changing the references) on the Word Editor webpage? Will that impact the "active references"?
Endnote has a way to save a document with : unformatted citations. Is this possible with Zotero? The references are still associated through an ID with the zotero library.

Thank you
  • I have an image I can share with you, if you tell me which address I should send it to.
  • You can set Word up to display field shadings either always, never, or only when a field is selected (e.g. your cursor is in the field). Could that explain what you're seeing?
    See e.g. https://www.howtogeek.com/240018/how-to-enable-and-disable-field-shading-in-word/

    What exactly do you mean by the "Word Editor webpage"? I believe Word online should be fine, but I'd test that before relying on it. Most other online services through which you can edit Word documents (including Dropbox and Google Docs) wouldn't work.

    Not really, no. (There's https://zotero-odf-scan.github.io/zotero-odf-scan/ but that's going to be a huge hassle if you're using Word)
