I'm using zotero for 2 weeks now. Using foldershare to keep my library up2date on my home and work pc.
Yesterday at home I worked on a document in Microsoft Word dutch version (i believe version 2003). This was the first time I installed the zotero Word plugin on that pc. So I added some references.
Now today I tried to edit the same document here at work, with microsoft word english version (version 2002 sp3). But everytime I press any button of zotero I get the visual basic error: runtime error '13' 'type mismatch'.
In a new document the zotero plugin seems to be working fine. Also adding new references to the zotero libary within firefox works just fine.

What to do?

Hmm, didn't see that last part... But is there a way to prevent this from happening? I do need to work at home on this report as well as at work? And every time it gets broken..

Hello,

I had the exame problem. Copied my zotero files over to my laptop. Zotero itself worked, but in word the plugin gave the runtime 13 error.

Copying all the content of the word file to a new one solved it. But what makes me wondering is that the size went from 204kb down to 150. I could´t find any differences other then the tables where messed up. I copied over the right ones, but still the difference in size.

Question is..is it okay or should I check something more through? Whats the cause?

thanks!

As no one other might have made a Report: 674555855.

No Zotero errors there.

It means it's not an obvious bug in Zotero itself, though there may still be a problem with the fields that Zotero and the Word plugin are generating in some situations. (It could also be a Word bug outside of our control.) The Debugging Broken Documents steps could help us figure out what's going on and potentially help us work around it.

The file size change is likely just related to how Word fast-saves documents and not due to any loss of data.
