Upgrade StorageCorrupted short names in Word plugin citations
Hi all...
I'm having problems with the formatting of short-format names in citations in Word. For example, a citation that should look like this in APA style:
(Ericsson & Charness, 1994)
Looks like this instead:
(K.Anders Ericsson & Charness, 1994)
That is, first names are included. This happens irregularly to some citations/authors and not others. Also, it happens in an older document with these references but not if I create a new, empty, word document and add the same reference from scratch. (And everything looks fine in the Zotero client (version 2.1.6 - Firefox 4)).
The names look fine in the bibliography in all cases.
I have tried changing formats, refreshing, and removing and re-adding references in the old document but nothing works. I even tried breaking the zotero connection and re-add references from scratch but it still does not work.
So - What's up? Any ideas on a fix or workaround? (Other than editing all corrupt citations by hand)

dsjolieAhhhh! Yes, that seems like a likely cause. I'll check into that - thanks!
