Word refresh

LPassenger

Hello!

Every time I insert a citation into Word via zotero it now fills in the full citation; it used to auto-truncate to the short title, but maybe this stopped working sometime around when "ibid" was phased out. Now, the only way to get short titles is to push the refresh button regularly. Is this just an adaptation in how zotero plays with word or is there someway to make this function where it auto-truncates to short versions depending where citations are placed in the doc?

It sounds like you just have automatic citation updates disabled (in which case the initial citations will also be underlined):

Ha! so dumb of a fix. Thanks so much, @dstillman !

To be clear, it's not really a "fix" — this is a feature that speeds up citation insertion in large documents. The point is just that the underlining tells you it's not a final citation yet.
