Citation markers in Word 5

I use ENP in Word 5 as a plug-in module on a Mac SE30.  I really like
being able to format and unformat documents.  However, I'm running into
problems with the citation markers.  In the "old" ENP I could type in and
rearrange citations if I knew the ID, thus [Smith, 1992 #1234]. Square
brackets were used.  Now we have a strange non-text and (non-hidden text)
marker that comes up as a vertical highlight.  My problems come when (a) I
want to copy text with citation markers from one file to another - it
takes ages; (b) when I try to merge multiple citations into a group or
move them around within a group.  ENP seems to leave "hidden" markers, and
in formatting fails to recognize citations.  The anly way round this is to
go back to the master library, re-select all the citations and re-insert.
This is a nuisance.  I'm working on a major review, and quite often come
across new references that need to be added to a multiple citation insert.
I just spent a whole day re-referencing my manuscript!

Anyone else have this problem?  Incidentally, the Citation Markers option
in the main ENP menu simply gives the old [ and ] markers. Help!
