import zotero reference embedded in word document?

dmk · April 17, 2015

Hi,

I was recently sent a Word document containing citations from Zotero and I wanted to import all those references into my own library, but don't see a way to do that. Now that zotero embeds references in Word and OpenOffice documents, it would seem there should be a way to get those back into a Zotero, but I can't find it. Am I missing something? If not, it would be great to add this feature.

Cheers,
David

Planned, not currently available (there are a couple of existing threads on this if you're interested).
It _is_ possible in the MLZ fork of Zotero, so if this would be a huge time-saving for you, it may be worthwhile looking at installing that (probably in a separate Firefox profile).

OK thanks. I new I had seen other forum posts on this, but my searches kept pulling up discussions of importing raw text bibliographies from Word and things like that...
