Issue:
The « Convert to Plain Text » function occasionally fails to work on both Windows and macOS.

Possible Cause:
The Word document may be corrupted.

Suggested Solution:
Try converting the file to LibreOffice format and then back to a .docx file.

Recommended Practice:

  • Maintain a master document with Instant Formatting turned off.
  • « Commit » the master document frequently
  • Always perform citation and bibliography updates on a copy of the master document—not on the master file itself.
