Why am I getting Zotero fields cannot be inserted here?

gsubotic
I keep getting the message. I am opening the document I always work on with Zotero references, and now it asks me to chose again, even though it is already set up to Harvard and after I select Harvard it does not want to apply it saying Zotero fields cannot be inserted here!


This is impossible. i always work on this document and my Zoteroi already has Zotero set up!

HELP!

    Can you edit existing citations? Zotero might not be able to insert citations into tables, captions, text-boxes, etc, so make sure you're not inserting into one of those.

    Are you using Word or LibreOffice? When you click Zotero Document Preferences, is the option for “Store citations using” set to “Fields/ReferenceMarks” or to “Bookmarks”?—you will want it to be set to Fields/ReferenceMarks.

    Where exactly are you trying to insert the citation? In a table, footnote, or text box?

    Hi, thanks for feedback. I was trying to insert it in my word doc as usual. It just needed restart :) Thanks
