Upgrade StorageZotero & Word 2016: References lost
I have word 2016 and have Zotero installed. Previously, I was having no issue referencing my work in Word and I was also able to create the bibliography.
However, now that I return to Word a few days later, all my citations start from [1] again...
Also, I can no longer create a bibliography because, well, it thinks that I have no citations (I believe).
When I click the "Edit Bibliography" button, I am greeted with: You must insert a bibliography before performing this operation.
It seems that Word has "lost" my bibliography...
Has anyone had this issue before and knows how to resolve it?

If so, then the Word integration itself is fine and most likely your field codes in Word (i.e. the hidden places where Zotero saves citatino information) have gotten removed in a specific document. The ways this is most likely to happen is
1) if the document has been opened in different software (LibreOffice, GoogleDocs, Pages)
2) if the document has been saved in a format that doesn't support fields (.odt, .rtf)
I may have opened the document in GoogleDocs (don't remember).
Is there a way to recover lost field codes?
Okay, there is something wrong here. I just went and redid all my references and all was working as expected. I saved the Word document, closed it, reopened it and I have the same issue again... Word 2016 is not remembering my Bibliography.
When I click insert bibliography, I get {Bibliography}. When I try and edit my bibliography, it says that I must first insert one...
Does anyone have any ideas?
When you press alt+F9 (Mac: alt+FN+F9) do you see field codes showing up in the document?
As for the codes, I do not see any when I press alt+F9.

OpenText document is the default file type in Word 2016, in case anyone experiences this.
You can toggle field codes under File --> Options --> Advanced --> Show document content --> "Show field codes instead of their values" (should be unchecked)
