Using Zotero in Word 2007 after creating the original data in Word 2003

Richelieu

Hello,

I have following problem with my zotero:
I have gathered my library and cited these data in a Word 2003-document (Windows XP). Now I had to replace these settings by a new configuration to Word 2007 / Windows 7. I hadn't problems with implementing my old library into firefox, but in my dissertation-document zotero seems not to detect a link to the library. The attempt of editing or create new citations leads to the error-message: "Dieser Eintrag existiert nicht mehr in ihrer Zotero-Datenbank. Wollen sie einen anderen Eintrag als Ersatz auswählen." (This entry doesn't exist in your zotero-library. Do you want to choose another entry as an alternative?)
Cause I am not really in the mood to search and insert again all of the citations, is there any possibility to help me with this problem?

Thank you very much,
Phil

You need to copy your Zotero database to your new configuration, rather than exporting and importing all of your references. Exporting and importing your references breaks the links between your documents and the Zotero database.

It did work. Thank you very much, spared me a little hard work...
