legacy refworks document to zotero

Hello Zotero community:

I have a MS Word document that has field codes generated by legacy Refworks. Unfortunately, my university decided to deprecate our license with Refworks, and I need to continue adding references to this document. I've saved several versions of this document:

1. document with citations and bibliography with field codes removed in APA style.
2. document with citations and bibliography with field codes still present in APA style.
3. document with citations, but without bibliography and without field codes.

In case that might help.

Would it be possible to convert the field codes from legacy RefWorks to field codes that Zotero could read? The document is quite long and so if this process cannot be automated, then that would require having to manually re-do all of the many references. Or put another way, is there a way to convert a document laced with RefWorks Field codes to a document laced with Zotero field codes?
  • I'm afraid there is no way to do this other than to re-insert the existing citations with Zotero, sorry.
  • That's what I was afraid of. Oh well, I suppose that's how life goes sometimes. Thanks for your response.
