Upgrade StorageWord 2013 - Zotero lost contact with bibliography
Hey guys, for some reason Zotero stopped registering the bibliography in my Word document. So if I try to edit the bibliography it says I have to first "insert a bibliography". If I try to insert another bibliography, everything is well and Zotero maintains contact with the new one. However, I now have two bibliographies in my doc, as the old one is still present.
So, is there any way I can remove the old bibliography and make a new one? The problem is if I try to delete the old one all my citations are lost.
I'm running Word 2013 on Windows 8 x64.

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 press Alt+F9, does the old bibliography turn into something like
{ADDIN ZOTERO_BIBL {"custom":[]} CSL_BIBLIOGRAPHY}Edit: you can press Alt+F9 to return to the previous view
No, it turns into something like:
"{ ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION { ..."
Excuse my noob question, but how would you delete the bibliography? If I select the whole thing and press delete I get this error message from Word: "This is not a valid action for endnotes."
{ ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION { ...is for an intext citation. It will be a rather large block of code. The bibliography should be below that. Make sure you are looking at the right place.The error you are getting seems to indicate that we're either miscommunicating about what a bibliography means, that the old bibliography is somehow inserted into an endnote, or you're somehow selecting an endnote when trying to select the old bibliography.
What citation style are you using?
i (1)
ii (2)
iii (3)
iv (4)
etc.
So, I undid the change.
Am I perhaps confusing footnotes/endnotes with a bibliography? I just want citations in the text with my references at the end.
EDIT: Sorry, I inserted a new bibliography and now see the code you were talking about. It goes: "{ ADDIN ZOTERO_BIBL {"custom":[]} CSL_BIBLIOGRAPHY }"
However, I still have my old citations listed at the bottom of my document (looks like this: http://imgur.com/r2trBO2). Any way to get rid of them?
To fix this:
For devs, here's how to reproduce:
You're right, I did actually get such an error, but I forgot what it said. :)
Thanks dude, and I hope the bug is fixed in future versions. Zotero is otherwise really great, definitely pwns Endnote! ;)
The error is "Zotero experiences an error updating your document. The requested member of the collection does not exist."
Ubuntu Linux 12.04
LibreOffice 3.5.7.2
Firefox 25
MLZ 4.0m416
Zotero LibreOffice Integration 3.5.8
The processor doesn't know anything about the physical location of notes inside the document. Looks like either a bug in the Word integration plugin, or in a portion of integration.js specific to Word.
