Upgrade StorageApparently Empty Citation Field
In the early process of learning Zotero. [Configuration is Zotero 3.0.7, Firefox 12.0, MS Word 2010]
When in Word, with the cursor where I want the citation to appear in the middle of text, I click on Zotero Insert Citation, and choose the appropriate reference and type in the page number - but I don't know what to do next to make that info appear in the text. At that point, I can tell that a data field exists.
What final step(s) am I missing?

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.
If you're using the new quick format insert citation dialog (the default), what you do is:
1. type a search term into the box
2. select a citation
2a. potentially add a page number and prefix
http://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_usage#quick_format_citation_dialog
and press return
3. Press return again to confirm.
Zotero will insert a formatted citation that can take three forms:
1. An author-date citation in parentheses, this would be a Harvard style or APA (Smith 1776)
2. A Footnote, with the citation inserted in the footnote. This would be Chicago Manual of Style and related styles
3. Just a number. That would be Vancouver, Nature, IEEE style etc. The references corresponding to the number will show up when you insert the bibliography.
