Zitated in Word and now changing to Zotero

Hey Zotero community

I have nearly finished my thesis, and now I got to know Zotero – unfortunately very late. Zotero seems to be much better than Word with the register "references". I have manually added the information from my articles, interviews etc in this register in Word. This was really time consuming. The problem is, that I cannot choose how many authors should be citated. I would like to citate an article with 3 authors the first time with all names. Afterwards, there should be written just one author with "et al". (If there are more than 3 authors, Word can directly write the first author and then "et al". this is fine)

I have therefore some questions:
1) Can I use these citations in word to transfer it directly to Zotero?
2) Can I just enter the articles with three authors by Zotero and leave everything what I have citated in Word?

Thank you very much for your helpe!
