Sharing Word doc with non-Zotero using Colleagues

zeynep

I am using Word with Zotero plug-in. I want to share a document with colleagues some of whom do not use Zotero and who would normally send me suggestions/changes via track changes. However, it appears that if they save my doc on their copy of Word without Zotero, my Zotero fields disappear.

Does this mean I can never collaborate on the same document with a colleague who does not use Zotero?

zotero has problems with word track changes functions, see:

but in my experience, sharing documents without track changes should not pose a problem.
