Share Zotero Doc between Mac Office and Windows Office

I created a document in Office for Mac and tried to edit it in Office for Windows on another computer.

This didn't work, I got the "You must place your cursor in a Zotero citation..." error.

Are Zotero additions to Word documents supposed to be compatible between Windows and Mac?

Edit: I had synced my library on both computers before attempting to share documents and was using fields.
As an additional question: Are fields or bookmarks better for this type of scenario?
  • yes that should work (and usually does).
    Did you sync the Zotero database between the two computers?
    Did you use Fields or Bookmarks? (Document Preferences)
