Upgrade StorageGaps in numeric citations
I have been usung Zotero without problems for a year, and found it a godsend in completing an MSc dissertation. However, I am having major problems producing an abridged version of my dissertation, which has required me to remove around two-thirds of my (numeric) citations.
Most of these have disappeared without problem. However, a handful persist in the bibliography, despite no longer being to referred to in the text. Refreshing the bibiography or deleting and replacing it makes no difference. Editing out the offending entries from the bibliography only results in gaps in the numeric series. Thus I no longer have citation numbers [13], [21] or [45] apearing in my text or in the bibliography, and nothing I do returns them.
What can be wrong? I am using Zotero version 3.0.3 on Windows 7 and Zotero Word for Windows Integration version 3.1.6.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Try toggling field codes on with alt+F9 - I believe you should be able to see itemIDs in the bibliography - search for those in the entire document (including fields) - that might help you find those stray citations.
Another idea would be to change the citations style to something more expressive (an author-date style like APA, or even a note based style like CMoS) and see if that helps you find them.
