Importing MS Word 2008 .xml files into Zotero

mapmaker · May 5, 2010

Does anyone know if it is easily possible to import MS Word 2008 'sources.xml' files into Zotero (that is the Word bibliography files). If it is not possible currently, is this something that is being developed?

Thanks!

Thanks but the info at that site is for Word 2007 (PC) whereas I'm interested in Word 2008 (Mac).

The answer is the same.

For plug-in etc. The system requirement is Windows XP or VISTA. Has anyone tried it with Mac OS?

Well, give it a try. If you can't get it to work on the Mac (and I doubt it will), then try to get your XML file to a PC and try to convert it there.

This is mainly a limitation of Word; they haven't done much to make their bibliography system interoperable.
