Zotero compatbility with Word 2013

ruijie · December 13, 2012

I am using the following system:
- Windows 8 Professional
- Office 2013 Professional
- Zotero 3.0.11
- Word plugin 3.1.9

I have a problem with using "fields" within Word for zotero citation. Specifically, when using the fields option, whenever i click zotero refresh, a new copy of my bibliography would appear. Has the word plugin been tested for compatibility with Word 2013 yet?

thanks. So is setting bookmarks the only way around? what risk of corruption is there?

same question for me

generally bookmarks should be quite stable - I'd make sure to keep frequent back-ups of the document, as you should anyway, and to not write anything into citations to prevent corruption. Roughly speaking the risk is that it's easier to manually insert a character into the bookmark that will break it, while that's basically impossible for fields.

Thank you,
when do you think that an update for word plugin will be available?

Can anyone tell me if Zotero works with Office/Word 2013?

I'm not a Zotero user I am involved in supporting PC's which Zotero users would want to use. From reading what's here it looks like is might be OK?

Many thanks Sam

yes, the most recent version of the Word plugin works with Word 2013
