How to make zotero-word's citations editable by endnote?
Hello,
First, please excuse me for my english, it's not my native language.
Second, here's my problem :
I've just used zotero to insert citation and bibliography in a word document. I sent the word doc and a RIS converted librairy to my director who's using endnote. The problem is he can't edit the zotero's citations with endnote-word pluggin.
Is there any way to convert zotero's citations into endnote-editable citations???
Of course, I need to do it quickly and I'll be very thankful for every solution.
Thanks

Maybe I said a too-early "thanks"
He can edit everything else in the paper, just not the citations.
The alternative is for you to remove the Zotero field codes in the document that you send him and keep a copy with field codes, then manually transfer his edits to your Zotero copy.
Thanks to you two.
Remember that most people answering questions on this forums are unpaid community members, and quite a few of us skim through all Zotero forum posts (of which there are tens of thousands a year), which is quite a time investment. And bdarcus did answer your question within a couple of minutes.
Thanks all for your help, I'll tell your solutions to my boss
the "tell him not to edit the citations" really is crucial. He can edit everything else, but if he edits the citations they will break (or his edits will be erased w/o a trace) when you get the document back.
(and adamsmith and I didn't mean to criticize your tone; but short answers are common on these forums, and shouldn't be seen as unfriendly)
Anyway, if there's no way to do the change with zotero or a word's macro, I think I'll have to redo everything with a trial version of endnote...
"The alternative is for you to remove the Zotero field codes in the document that you send him and keep a copy with field codes, then manually transfer his edits to your Zotero copy. "
- Ask him to tell you what needs to be changed, instead of making the changes directly.
- Remove Zotero field codes, let him make the changes, and then add/edit future citations by hand (or semi-manually; you can still use Zotero's Quick Copy feature).
- Redo the entire document in EndNote.
Unless your citations are really screwed up, I would think the first option is easiest.Would you have preferred a short response, or no response at all?
BTW, these days I give my grad students feedback using Google Docs. My current student is writing in Word though, and just loads the document into GD for comments and conversation, and then adapts that to his Word document.
