Citation Error Message

Report ID: 189332788
When I want to insert a new citation into my word document, the error message "Zotero experienced an error updating your document.

Document modified during update @[setCode:field.m:660]"

Steps to reproduce:
1. Click "Add new citation" on Word's Zotero Tool bar
2. Type in Author's name and select correct citation
3. Wait, then the error message pops up in a new window

I expected my new citation to be added in the corresponding order, such as "65" coming after "64" in my document. This message started happening after I received a message telling me I had a corrupt citation within my library. Please help, this is due Friday!

HI, I am having the same problem! How did you fix that?
Thank you!

Hi! I ended up shutting it down for the night, and then reopening it the next day, and it worked. I think restarting it should help, but also check for any updates for Zotero in your browser. I would also consistently save your word doc just in case it doesn't end up working again. Hopefully this will help you get back on track!
