Zotero fields deactivated
I've seen this problem raised before numerous times (with no solution), and read the FAQ section here: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/existing_citations_not_detected
But none of these apply to me. I've literally had my document sitting on my laptop for the last month, and when I last edited it, the fields worked fine. I haven't changed any versions, and I haven't turned the document into anything other than .docx. Now, in my Word document, the Zotero citations and Bibliography have all become plain text and I can no longer do anything with them. The only workaround is to manually replace all the plain text with new zotero citations, which is doable but a pain in the neck.
Please let me know if there's either an easier fix or (more importantly) a way to prevent losing these in future.
Thank you.

Given what we know about cases in which this has happened, I currently don't think that's a terribly likely explanation and I'd encourage you to describe in some more detail what you've done to troubleshoot and we can think through what might have happened (and that's definitely what I'd recommend for Doreen), but if you're 100% certain that no other explanation applies, you'd have to talk to Microsoft.
