    Which style are you using, and does this occur when you add a citation to an empty document?
  • heuldale
    If I open an older version of the document, or a new document, then I can work normally. The problem is that one day the work is gone. I write with Times New Roman, did you mean that?
  • heuldale
    Many changes and citation that I have inserted today would have to be found out and re-inserted.
  • fbennett
    The Zotero citation style (Chicago, Vancouver, etc). (From the error report, it may be a style that is bound to the German language.)

    Chicago manuel of style 17.edition (note)
  • heuldale
    Hello fbennett, thanks for the help. I inserted another citation style, after which Zotero worked again. 1000 thanks
  • fbennett
    Does it continue to work when you switch back to Chicago Manual of Style 17th edition (note)?
  • heuldale
    Ok, I was wrong, it does not work. I wrote hectically in the version from yesterday. It does not work to change the citation style. It must be at the setting of the last saved document.

    Here are steps for fixing a broken document.

  • heuldale
    ok, I found the error in the document. The method was, as suggested, the constant halving of the document as described in the forum. Thank you.
  • fbennett
    Very good news that it's back and working for you. Any idea what was wrong in the reference that triggered the error?
  • heuldale
    I think it was because I changed an author after I added the citation.
  • fbennett
    Many thanks. I'll play around and see if I can reproduce the error -- things certainly shouldn't crash on you like that in normal operation.
