Just to add to Bob's answer.
When it comes to citations, you can not insert them that way. You either
have to fill in the form field by field, or you have to select them from a
master list you got from elsewhere or created before.

Do Not have text *selected* whenever you insert [just about] anything else
unless you want the "anything else" to replace what you have selected.
(One
exception that comes immediately to mind is Bookmarks.)
Place the Insertion Point at the end of the cited passage or the spot
where
the Citation is to go, then insert the Citation.

Hi All
I did the following:
I typed into my Word document some text copied from a book (the citation)
I highlighted that text and then selected INSERT A CITATION
Word popped up a mask to enter the data about the book
After I clicked OK my text disappeared with a sort of placehoder like
(Author,2009).
Great but how can I make the *actual* text of my citation appear in the
document after I have marked it as a citation?
Perhaps I am using the "INSERT A CITATION" functionality in the wrong
way?
Thanks
