Duplicate references in word "a" and "b"
I’m having an issue with Zotero + Word. Even though I have already merged or deleted all duplicate entries in my Zotero library, Word still shows all my in-text citations with “a” and “b” (e.g., Smith, 2020a; Smith, 2020b).
I have already:
– Checked that only one copy of each reference exists in my library.
– Refreshed citations in Word using the Zotero tab.
– Closed and reopened both Zotero and Word.
– Tried removing and reinserting one of the problematic citations.
Despite that, the “a” and “b” suffixes remain. It seems Word or Zotero is still linking to two internal citation keys for what should be the same source.
Does anyone know how to reset or relink all citations so Zotero recognizes they refer to the same reference?
Thanks a lot in advance!
