Upgrade StorageCan Zotero locate non zotero citations to change styles?
Ok, I am hoping someone here can help.
I have just completed my PhD and am working on finding a publisher for my dissertation. I have one, but it requires me to change my style guide. Here's the issue:
1) The uni I attended made me use Harvard style guide. So it looks like this:
....."It will be argued that the ‘three pillars’ (Myers 2008:390-392) help frame the narrative"
2) I need to change to from Harvard to Chicago 16th.
3) Here's the problem, though: I didn't actually input most of my citations into Word via Zotero. Because Harvard style is so quick, I didn't bother to open Zotero, input page number etc. I just typed it out because it out.
4) I do have every item from my dissertation in my Zotero account - I did use Zotero for bibliography.
THUS, I AM ASKING:
Is there a way that I can locate/convert quickly all these citations (that are not zotero citations) and then do the converting later?
Any and all help would be appreciated. If I can't find a work around, I'll likely outsource it, but thought I would check.
Thanks, all.

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.
Thanks.
You might be able to use a regular expression find/replace to format the citations into the way that either the pandoc, RTF, or ODF scan expects (the former two are almost certainly doable, but you may lose more formatting in the conversions to those formats; the latter expect Zotero keys, which may be...challenging).
But, if it were me & a <200 page thesis, I'd like just switch to a numeric style & insert all of these by hand (or pay an intern to do that).
