--- Comment #17 from Yury <[email protected]> ---
Currently, the export of bib. entry to word 2003 .DOC is done as the type 97
field (cf. version 4.3.7.1 sw/source/filter/ww8/ fields.cxx, fields.hxx,
ww8atr.cxx). This seems to be the numerical for the so-called "table of
authority", which (1) seems to be not the direct equivalent of the bib. entry
and (2) seems to be not the part of the standard Word 2003 distro.

That much I infer from the internet question/answer resources, where it is
claimed there is no in-built capability for citations/bibliography in Word 2003
proper.

Now, there are two significant open-access references on DOC binary format: 

[1]

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/cc313153%28v=office.14%29.aspx
[2]
http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/digformatspecs/Word97-2007BinaryFileFormat(doc)Specification.pdf
[3] http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-376.htm

Per [2, p.138], treating the word97-word2007 formats, in word97 (sic!) format
there is no field with code 97 "CITATION" which is used in . The [2] does not
have searchable strings "citat/biblio", and SEEMS to have nothing appropriate
in "new in word 2003" section.

Per [1] (both links lead eventually to the ~19M PDF "[MS-DOC] — v20141018 //
Word (.doc) Binary File Format // Release: October 30, 2014", which, in turn,
references ECMA-376 [3]), there is no type 97 field, too [1, p.357]. 

In the light of this, I consider the whole exercise of exporting bib entries to
word 2003 .DOC as the type 97 fields to be dubious, possibly even erroneous.

I think the bibliography entries' export should be switched back w/r to the
exporting to Word 2003 .DOC to the bare text format.
