Word import and bibliographic software

Hi
I hope this hasn't been covered elsewhere but I'm trying to work out why chunks of text are missing after importing some files from Word. The files have been edited by a third party before they come to me so I know little of their origins. However, my best guess is that the missing text represents entries from some kind of bibliographic software. (If I open the files in Pages, then all of the missing text appears but surrounded by a blue outline.) My questions are: 1) does this sound plausible, and; 2) is there some way to fix this? (At the moment I am opening files in Pages, exporting as rtf, then re-opening in NWP. This fixes everything but it is far from ideal.)

Best

It could be that these special/missing chunks of text were produced by bibliographic software, or are some other special kind of automated content. Would you be able to send me one of these files to look at? If you did I'd be in a much better position to advise you. If you're willing, you can email me directly at:

I promise to keep the documents private and delete them once I've had a look.
