Save a bibliography to format compatible with Microsoft Word

AdeleEff

Hello -- A colleague has asked me to share a subset of my library with him. He does not have a citation manager, he lists all his references in a Microsoft Word document (!).

I have created this bibliography with Zotero's search tool. How can I export it in a format that will be easily readable in MS Word? (To be safe, an older, basic version of MS Word.)

RTF can be read by virtually all word processors and opens in all versions of Word back to the 1990s. (So that's right-click --> Create bibliography --> Save as RTF)

I have saved the bibliography. There is no RTF choice in the Export function.

How do I go backward to search results so I can save this bibliography as RTF? Where do I do right-click (I use a Mac).

adamsmith explained how to save to RTF. You don't use Export.

Right-click on a Mac means control-click, or two-finger press on your trackpad, depending on your settings.

You can also drag from Zotero to Word, save, and email from there
