Impossible to change citations in WORD

jkuemmel
I have a problem with my citations in MS Word 2007. For some of the citations in the WORD file I can't change these citations. I always get "Sie müssen den Cursor in einer Zotero-Zitation positionieren, um sie zu bearbeiten", if I want to change a citation.

I use Word 2007; Firefox 24.0, Zotero 4.0.12 and Zotero Word for Windows Integration 3.1.13. I am using the IEEE format style and the field mode in WORD.
Surprisingly, if I change the Field mode in the "Zotero Set Doc Prefs" to the Reference Mark mode, I can can change ALL citations!

    "if I change the Field mode in the "Zotero Set Doc Prefs" to the Reference Mark mode, I can can change ALL citations!"

    you mean "Bookmarks" here, right? Reference Marks shouldn't even be an option in Word.

    Can you change the entire document to a different citation style (this is for troubleshooting)?

    Yes you are right, the correct term is "Bookmark"/"Lesezeichen" in German language.
    I can change the entire document to a different citation style in the "Zotero Set Doc Prefs", but nevertheless some of the citations in the WORD style can NOT be changed!

    So say you change the document to "American Psychological Association" so you get citations that are a bit longer. All citations change to (author date), correct? And when you place the cursor in one of those - and try to "edit citation" you still get the same error?

    I could change to the "American Psychological Association" citation style, but the error message remained the same for some of the citations.
