Two things I'd check.
First, what is the name/path of the working document, and what name are you 
telling Papyrus to use for the output document?  Note that Papyrus, as a 
Dos program, is using the short file names derived from long file names; if 
they aren't unique, then Windows may be overwriting things.  In short, the 
working document should still have the %%; after text extract, it is the 
output document which would be missing them.  So it sounds like you somehow 
overwrote the working document with the output document.  What happens if 
you do a test with a copy of the working document, renamed to have a short 
file name (e.g., chap1.doc)?  And specify that the output file is named 
something like chapt1.new, or even chapt1n.doc?  (If you specified 
chapt1.doc, then it might indeed overwrite, unless Dave had built in more 
error checking than I think likely.)

Second, what output format are you using with the text extract?  Sounds 
like you may be specifying an output format which is blank, or otherwise 
not giving you what you want.  If you specified a Vancouver type output, 
you'd get numbers in the text where the references were.  An APA one would 
give you author names,dates in brackets.  But you only get the actual list 
of references from specifying LIST, using the right output format, into 
another file.  You then merge it where you want the reference list to be.

It should be explained in the free manuals, under Text Extract.
Hope this helps.
