Found the following on a forum, and I have not tested it. Is this true,
and is there a workaround?

MARK CITATIONS BUG IN WORD 2002 AND 2003
Microsoft didn't fix this in Word 2003, and many folks in the legal
community are howling.

1) Open a document with a citation.

2) Click inside a footnote or endnote.

3) Place a citation in the footnote or endnote (very common in legal
documents) by clicking Insert | Reference | Index and Tables | Table of
Authorities.

4) Click Mark Citation. You see the Mark Citation dialog.

5) Click Next Citation. Word cycles through citations in the footnotes
and endnotes, but ignores citations in the main body of the document.

6) Click inside the body of the document, and bring up the Mark Citation
dialog. Click Next Citation. Word cycles through citations in the body of
the document, but misses the ones in the footnotes and endnotes.

Word 2000 correctly moved between citations in the main document,
footnotes and endnotes (Insert | Reference | Index and Tables | Table of
Authorities | Mark Citation | Next Citation) - although the dialog boxes
were a bit deceiving. What happened with Word 2002 and 2003?
