Issues with Word
I have installed zotero on my new laptop and added the plugin to WOrd (Office 2013 professional).
When I want to add a citation, and I enter the book in the bar, the bar turns green, a footnote is added to my document, but the footnote only has {citation} and the green bar does not disappear. What now?

1. Delete the bibliography and only insert it at the end
2. Switch to an author-date style that doesn't change formatting for first versus subsequent citations (e.g., Annual Reviews Author-Date)
3. Insert new citations into an empty document, then cut-and-paste them into your dissertation. Click Refresh once you are done writing.
However, sounds like updating/inserting was relatively fast on your old machine? What were the specs, OS and Office versions on that and what are you running now?
It's certainly a problem with Word 2013 or newer versions of Windows, but we might be able to speed it up at some point down the line.
