Is that the case in every document or just a specific one?

Also: which style?

i'm writing my dissertation right now an using zotero for the first time, so it's just that document. Vancouver style

is it a problem that i'm using safari maybe?

no, the browser has nothing to do with the word processor integration.
Could you try if this works in a new, test document? I.e. just insert a citation and bibliography?

Wow yes in deed, just doesn't work on my dissertation.
if i open a new word document it works, what do i do now :-(

run through https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_troubleshooting#debugging_broken_documents in your dissertation.

nothing worked but copying the text into another document, screwed up the format and pictures but i can now simply copy the bibliography into the original document.
good enough for me, saved my life
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
