Default Bibiography citation gets "Invalid source specified" error
I am trying to create a bibliography following the instructions here:

https://support.office.com/en-us/art...9-342c289fa2a5

When I finish creating my first source, the field displays as Invalid source specified. If I expand the field, it shows { CITATION Mat17 \1 1033 }.

A little research turned up this page that claims the problem is unique to Office 2007 and has to do with a registry setting.

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...9-ef0c7030150d

Is this correct? Will it solve the problem and is it safe? That is, what else will it break?
