Citations won't properly update in a long document
Hi,
I am having trouble getting my citations to update correctly. I copied and pasted several documents together into a long document. The citations correctly re-numbered, but when I used a source in two different original sections the long form of the citation has been retained in both cases in spite of various "refreshing" of my citations.
I have even tried deleting the second usage of the original text and then re-adding the footnote with the correct page number- the citation number is again correct, but the long form is still used. I even save the document after deleting the citation before reinserting without the problem being solved.
I have a word count requirement on the document and need to save words but using the short form of the citation every time after the first use.
Thoughts?

The I tried copy and pasting the whole thing into a new document, setting the preference to Turabian, adding one citation so it was connected to zotero and the "refreshing" my citations. Again they did not update to use the short form after first usage.
Deleting both and reinserting them seemed to solve the problem for that author/work
But I have over 800 citations in my document and I would rather not check every individual work to make sure it was properly when it is used a second time... do you have any thoughts about that?
