1013	Empty square after references when opening OO documents in Word	dstillman	simon	"While Simon fixed #875, it seems Word doesn't actually support the Unicode word-joiner character that we're inserting after references in OpenOffice to prevent additional text from becoming part of the citation. So we've just transferred the rectangle from OO to Word.

This will only affect people who open a document created with the OO plugin in Word (or other programs with shoddy Unicode support), but that includes if it's flattened, saved as an RTF, etc.

I wasn't able to find any zero-width or narrow-width Unicode characters that work in both OO and Word. The no-width Unicode characters that Word offers to insert via Insert->Symbol->Special Characters actually have different special meanings and would cause problems in programs that interpreted them correctly.

So, do we a) remove this functionality from the OO plugin and let users get out of the fields themselves, b) find some character that actually works in both, or c) figure out some other way to place the cursor outside of the field without actually inserting an extra character in the field?

It seems that, if users can do it manually, (c) should be possible..."	defect	closed	major	1.5 Sync Preview 3	word integration	1.5	fixed		stakats
