Can you extract a few pages from your document containing those nested fields so we can look at them.  You can use the following macro to truly randomize your text.

@ Replace confidential text with filler in Word / Randomizehttps://office-watch.com/2018/replace-confidential-text-filler-word/ 

Here’s a macro how to replace private or confidential text with truly random characters’ nonsense or anonymous text.  Handy for getting help with Word formatting or numbering problems where you can’t share the real document to an outsider.

This is often a problem for legal workers or others with privacy considerations.  It’s hard to ask for outside help with a Word formatting or numbering problem when you can’t share the troublesome document.

Most of the ‘solutions’ to this issue aren’t appropriate.  Redaction or replacing text with black bars is hard to read.  Random text in Word using Rand(), Rand.old() or Lorem() will insert filler text but not replace existing text.  This macro will replace existing text with truly randomized characters to maintain the approximate page layout. If you translate the macro you'll see that it "seeds" each character individually before randomizing, so the conversion can't be recreated.

You can test for yourself.  In a new blank document create an alpha paragraph of letters a thru z (upper and lower case) and 0 thru 9 (upper and lower case).  Copy paste it as many times as you want.  Run the macro.  You'll see that each letter has a random conversion, as confirmed by the fact that sometimes more than one letter in the line will be converted to same char.

Trouble shooting problems in files can be like a visit to the dentist, a long, slow painful process of us trying to “extract” the clues needed to recognize the problem in a back and forth flow of questions and answers so that we can come up with a / “the” solution.

Often it is faster and easier for everyone if we have a “sample file” get "hands on", to look at, and to “play with”.

What sort of field constructions are you using?

If you send me a copy of the document, referencing this thread in the covering email message, I will investigate the issue.
