Latest version of Microsoft Word breaks footnoting (and others!)

Hi all, 

the latest version I have of Word (15.34 170515) seems to be breaking footnote creation when you copy as citation.

Nisus writer and Mellel do it perfectly

 

NWPro (2.1.7)

Mellel (3.5.3b2)

But interestingly Libreoffice and Pages don’t.

 

LO (5.3.3.2)

Pages (6.1.1  4338)

My bibliography settings are “SBL footnote” and “Insert citation as footnote"

It doesn't work either by me on Pages and Word 15.16 (Office insider fast program)

 

It works on Papyrus.de writing app.

Why do people still use Word? I haven't used it in years.

I've discovered on the  latest the MS Word version that Prefs / Bibliography / 'insert citation as footnote' has to be toggled 'off' for 'copy as citation prefs' to paste correctly The Bibliography has to then be moved manually to the footnote...

With 12.1. it doesn't work either on Papyrus, which it has with 11.0.6.

Yes, as before on Pages and the latest MS Word.  Prefs / Bibliography / 'insert citation as footnote' has to be toggled 'off'.

Sorry it works. Maybe not all resources works.
