Combining Word documents with Zotero references creating double listings of citations

rcrowley5
I have multiple Word documents (different chapters of my dissertation) and each of the documents have Zotero citations throughout. I am now combining these documents into one big document and I need to make one combined bibliography. I combined two of the chapters just to see how it would work and I did the "insert bibliography" feature from the Word plug-in. When the bibliography rendered, it turned all the citations that appeared in both chapters into double entries like this:

Winant, H. (2001a). The World is a Ghetto..

Winant, H. (2001b). The World is a Ghetto...

None of these entries are double entries in my Zotero library.

Am I missing some step that you need to do when you bring two documents (or more) together like this? I am just "cutting and pasting" the documents. Is there something I could do with Word differently or is this a Zotero thing?

Thanks.

    What you're doing should work. Try this: In Word, find two references in text that are duplicated in the bibliography. Press Alt+F9 and copy-paste here the chunk of text that appears for both references that are duplicated. You can copy paste the part from ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM to "itemData", like this:
    ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"2dg3tpk91a","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Krauss, 2013)","plainCitation":"(Krauss, 2013)"},"citationItems":[{"id":1915,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/275915/items/ESXTW5KT"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/275915/items/ESXTW5KT"],"itemData":
