If you use Alt+F9 in your document after using 'convert to static text' do you see the same text or do you see {BIBLIOGRAPHY}. If
you see the same text when using the Alt+F9 toggle then it has been converted. It will still be in a Word content control (blue
frame) and can be copied outside of the content control. If you then use 'Update Citations and Bibliography' on the top of the
control the static text in the content control will be replaced with the Bibliography field content and the 'Update Citations and
Bibliography at the top of the control (which should no longer be visible, but is, no longer functions. To update the Bibliography
control again to update to match your Current List from Manage Sources (in case you made changes), reapply a Bibliography gallery
choice.
The formatting (font/positioning) of the text is dependent on the Word style and formatting you apply to the text from the Home tab.
By default, the two built in gallery entries use Heading 1 paragraph style for the title line and the Bibliography paragraph style
for the content entries.

I am unable to convert my bibliography to statis text even after following
all of the MS suggestions and updates. Any help? and WHy is it formated
centered instead of Left for the first line and indented for the rest of a
reference?
