Moving Zotero Citations Between Google Docs and Word with a Large Number of Bibliographic Items

pforness

I have been following the instructions on https://www.zotero.org/blog/move-zotero-citations-between-google-docs-word-and-libreoffice/ for making Word files with the Zotero references built in for downloading. Yet when I run "Switch word processors", I get an error message after about five minutes and the transformation is not complete. I have about 340 bibliographic items and thousands of references in the document. Could the size be the problem? It worked when I did a shorter text with only 74 bibliographic items. Are there work arounds for larger files?

Yeah, thousands of references in a google doc may just not work -- their API might time out.

You could split the doc up into parts and re-assemble in Word?

Thanks!
