Can't generate bibliography in MacWord
Hi all,
I have just finished writing my paper, which must be submitted today. I have a lot riding on this. And I simply cannot get Zotero to generate a bibliography. I've tried everything I can think of.
I have Zotero 1.5b1, Office 2008 for Mac, Firefox 3.0.7 and OS X 10.5.6.
The error message I get is as follows:
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/
Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/xml/
sax/expatreader.py", line 217, in close
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/
Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/xml/
sax/expatreader.py", line 211, in feed
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/
Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/xml/
sax/handler.py", line 38, in fatalError
SAXParseException: :153:489: no
element found
Thanks so much in advance - I'll be so grateful! Oh, and please keep any replies as idiot friendly as possible. I'm not too wise about these things! :-)
Cheers,
Robin

You may be able to fix this yourself using the steps described in Debugging Broken Documents.

(Actually, to be precise, I never managed to get it to work in one long line of references. I split it into two halves and generated two bibliographies from the two halves and combined them. I don't know why it worked in two halves but not in the one whole!)
Of course, I would not like to have to do this in future. But I do want to stick with Zotero as most other things about it are far easier to use than EndNote.
