Retrieve lost style out of a document it's used in

jcklenk

Hey folks,
as I updated to Win10 I didn't take special care to save my used style because it somehow always showed up in new zotero installations when I opened one of the documents it was used in.

Now, not anymore. Is there a special setting to make this work? Or did I always transport the styles with me without remembering now?

tl;dr: Is there a possibility to retrieve a style out of a word (.docx) document it's used in?

thanks in advance :)

no, sorry. The style code is saved in Zotero*, not in the Word document (which only saves the style id). I take it this was a custom style? Otherwise you can obviously just reinstall it from zotero.org/styles.

*this is what I assume happened earlier: you just transferred the entire Zotero data folder, which includes the styles.
