No duplicates in database, but getting "a", "b", etc after citation
I'm running into a problem where I have no duplicates in the database, but when I add a citation or bibliography it Zotero is adding a letter after the date.
For example, the biblioography cites this as 2 different articles, but there is only one in the database. I'm not seeing any differences between the two versions, except for the "a" and "b" after the year.
Havel, J. E., and Medley, K. A. (2006a). Biological invasions across spatial scales: Intercontinental, regional, and local dispersal of cladoceran zooplankton. Biological Invasions, 8(3), 459–473. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10530-005-6410-4
- cites inline as Havel and Medley, 2006a

I have removed and re-added the bibliography, removed and re-added the citation, but it still shows the same result.
However, when I open a new document, it brings the citations across correctly with no letter showing up after the date in the citation (Havel and Medley, 2006) and no letter after the date in the bibliography

As this document is currently in excess of 100 pages and 50+ different citations, It's not something I want to go back and remove every citation and reenter them. It's obviously something that is saved in the document itself, but I have no idea where to look or what to remove. This is similar to a question asked earlier (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/63882/why-alphabetic-letters-a-b-or-c-appearing-after-year-for-some-references-and-how-to-avoid-this), but I see no answer for it. I also do not see the the button/box/checkmark/whatever for the answer given by adamsmith, so I can't try that (`So the easiest way to fix this would be to replace every instance of that citation, making sure to always use the item listed under "My Library" in the word processor add-on, not the one listed under "Cited" "`)

And just to be clear, you don't have to change _every_ citation, just the Havel and Medley one.

I'm not given any option for "Cited" or "My Library".
I have about 50 instances to replace of various sources to replace, so it will take a while. Any idea of how this occurs?
Also, went in and looked at the html of the document (Word is actually a series of html files, to see them, unzip a document) and found all of the references, but wasn't sure if I could just update them there or not, but it was interesting to see what they looked like.
