Export Cited references word only

csmharis
I have various references in the Zotero library; I work in different files at a time.
I want to export the citation cited only in one word file.
I will be thankful for your response if you know it.

    If I understand correctly, you have several files where you've cited various items from your Zotero library, but want to generate one single document that contains them.

    There is 2 approaches:
    1. You just copy paste the documents together and remove any text you have.
    2. You use the ref extractor which lets you "select references in Zotero" and then put them into a collection and cite that. https://rintze.zelle.me/ref-extractor/

    Thank you very much for the response. I am happy to learn the approach to solving the problem.

    My question was different; I wanted to export the references cited in one specific document among all the references in the library. Still, I got it using your method. Thank you for that.

    Steps for people who want to export the cited references only can follow the method.

    1. Run zotero desktop app
    2. Goto website https://rintze.zelle.me/ref-extractor/
    3. Upload the file (Word document) which contains the linked references and citations.
    4. You will get all the references on the same web page (Export to Bib or RIS, etc.)
    5. Download and enjoy using Zotero

    Pro-tip: On the web after step 3. you will see a green button "Select in Zotero" (Make sure Zotero is running)
    Once you click the button, it will select all the cited references. Right-click on any selected reference and click export.
    Please save the file and use it when you need it.

    Sorry if my English is not good, but I tried my best.
    BTW thank you @damnation
