word-doc corrupted by too many references?

knippe

Hi trouble-forum experts,

sorry if this is double posted, by I have not found any comments on this: I am using Word 2004 on Mac OsX Tiger, Zotero Plugin 1. I inserted many citations through the Plugin-Toolbar into a document and after reopening it, Word breaks down saying the document is corrupted. I can reopen the saved document though, but am quite worried since I am writing on my thesis, and I dont want to take any risk. (Yes I know that word is always a risk)

Thank you,

Word breaks down saying the document is corrupted

Please include exact error messages when reporting bugs.

Hi Dan, not much more to say: If I reopen the file, word says that data corruption has occured, but part of the document can be restored. The restored document shows the Zotero-Citations like this

>ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM {"citationItems":[{"itemID":6935,"locator":"7"}]}
(Burghouwt und Huys, 2003: S. 7)

Since the excact error message is in German, I can only translate what I wrote.

Thanks,

Again, please post the exact message, German or otherwise.

? The exact message is what I wrote "data corruption has occured, but part of the document can be restored", then Word restores the document with the above mentioned effect on the cited items.

Post the message you see on screen—the message in German. A translated message is much less helpful, both for debugging and for other people experiencing the same issue.
