Error when trying to change citation style in Word 2013
First of all ID: 1459068665
I have been adding a bunch of citations using the Chicago Full Note style to my paper but recently wanted to switch to the IEEE Version due to preferring [1] to a superscript roman numeral.
Unfortunately when I switch the Style to IEEE (or also f.e. Nature Publishing Group Vancouver, but not other Chicago styles) I get the following error in Word:
"Zotero experienced an error updating your document.
An unhandled exception occured. [convertToNoteType:field.cpp]'An unhandled exception occured. [convertToNoteType:field.cpp]' when calling method: [zoteroIntegrationDocument::convert]"
Unfortunately I can't figure out what causes the problem exactly. I downloaded the styles from the repo.
Thank you for any help!

(Though note that, a) IEEE and Chicago are fundamentally different citation systems and b) that you can easily switch footnotes/endnotes to arab numerals in Word)
I was already afraid I'd have to do it all over again :)
What's more, after I choosing "bookmarks" in Springer and receiving the error notification, some citations, all of which are in footnotes, actually do appear as intended, while others merely show "{citation}".
- convert it to ODT format first, and then
- to a TeX file via the tool "writer2latex".
And I have read that in the process of converting the file to .odt format Zotero fields will only be preserved when they are bookmarks.
Apparently one needs a special exporting tool for creating the bib file. But before that I would succesfully have to create an ODT file that still has Zotero's information in it.
I get the feeling this is bit of a lost cause though; the supposed integration has existed for a couple of years now; if it worked well I'm sure Google would spit out much more links about Zotero/w2l integration.
It is a very strange work-around but it works: You need to convert your citation style from "endnotes" to "footnotes." Then you can change it from footnotes to in-text.
I don't know why it works, but it did for me. I found the solution here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/11050/cant-convert-footnotes-to-in-text-citations-in-word
