Unable to update citation style in document
Hi
I am using Word 2016 and latest version of Zotero. I am able to insert new citations but i am unable to change the citation style. Every time i try to do that I get the error message:
Zotero experienced an error in updating your document.
An unhandled exception occured. [convertToNoteType:field.cpp]
I have tried deleting half the document and to find a problem citation etc but it hasnt worked.
Any help would me much appreciated.
Regards
