Sharing a document with non-Zotero users

archsteve
Hi all,

I am using Zotero, but need to share a the .doc with several other users. Does anybody have any experience with this? How does the bibliography appear to non-users? Also, if the other user makes changes, what happens to the bibliography?

Any suggestions would be great!

    other people see the bibliography just as you do, so that part is no problem at all.
    Also, the only problematic scenario is passing a document back and forth between Zotero users and non-users. If you just author in Zotero and then pass it on, remove field codes and all is good.

    Passing back and forth is trickier. Ideally, other users shouldn't touch the references/bibliography, not sure what happens in those cases, I'd try it out - certainly mixing references inserted with Zotero and other that aren't will cause a bit of a mess.
