Google Docs converted citation to plain text

mienmusic

I am writing my dissertation and recently saved my word document into google docs in order for my readers to make their suggestions. Today I saved the document back to a word doc and discovered that ALL of my citations have been converted to plain text. Please advise!

Since I did not follow the "Word to Google Docs" directions when I first saved it as a google doc, does this mean that I have lost all of my zotero formatted citations?

Your google doc is not connected to Zotero. You can go back to the word version and import it again using the conversion directions.

The problem is, I made several changes to the document while it was in google docs.

You'll need to reapply those changes.

@mienmusic: Note that Google Docs has full version history, which should make reapplying changes somewhat easier.
