Hi,
the solution we are using is to convert fields in Word to pure text, which is done by marking the text (CTRL + A) and then converting (CTRL + SHIFT + F9).
If this is how you removed the field codes, I'm sorry the information is useless to you. But as we do this primarily to reduce file size before converting documents to pdf, maybe it's interesting to know for others, too.
When doing this, automatically created contets tables are converted too, resulting - in our documents - in a change of font colour and in underlining of the content table text. This can very easily be changed back manually.
Hope this helps!

Betreff: <RefMan> Unable to cut the cord between RefMan and Word
Hi,
We have a document that has gone through several reviewers, some who use RefMan, others who don't. At one point in the process we attempted to remove the field codes so that any changes would be made manually and no longer connected to a RefMan database. Whereas it appeared that the cord had been cut, it hadn't and when users opened the document, a whole new set of references would be added at the end as if RefMan was still working.
I can not figure out how to do it other than just move all the text into a .txt file and then replace in a Word Document. But that isn't going to happen due to formatting issues.
My one sneaking suspicion is that when MS Word Comments were added to the reference section (basically indicating missing information in a reference bibliography), that it somehow made it impossible to truly cut the cord between refman and Word.
Is there any foolproof way of knowing or doing this? Anyone else encounter problems?
I know RefMan is still active because there is some coding still visible and when rt. clicking on a reference, it allows us to still edit the field --and it highlights the entire section of references.
And finally--has anyone written guidelines on Document Flow and RefMan use? We have some informal guidelines, but it has been very problematic in a collaborative environment.
