Citations not recognized

I just tried to generate a bibliography for a document I've been working on for months (across multiple computers). For some reason, Zotero has ceased to recognize all of my citations (when I try to edit one, for example, it tells me to insert a citation first). Is there an alternative to reinserting every single citation?
I've had a flurry of computer problems recently (and am currently running safe mode in Mac), but none involved Zotero or Word so I don't see why they should be relevant.

    that you could try this with, no, there is no alternative to re-inserting every single citation.
    The most frequent cause of this problem is to save the document in a format that doesn't support Word Fields - e.g. RTF or potentially one of the older Word formats. Opening and saving it in Ooo would also probably have that effect.
