"Automatic citation updates are disabled"

Klausbavar
how can I change that?
  • adamsmith
    Check the "Automatically update citations" box in the Document Preferences

    Hello, in what document preferences can I find the "Automatically update citations"? Is it in Zotero desktop app? Is it in MS Word? I have Word for Mac and there are no preferences there relating to Zotero at all. In previous version of Word however were some Zotero-buttons I recall, but non of that in the Word for Mac I now have (which is the current version I suppose).

    I need to find this because I cannot stand the fact that each added citation get dashed underlines, and I read in another thread I need to activate this to avoid the problem.

    How are you adding citations if you don't have Zotero buttons?
    (The setting is under "Document Preferences" in the Zotero toolbar in Word)

    I use the shortcuts Ctrl+Alt+A for inserting, Ctrl+Alt+R for refreshing, Ctrl+Alt+E for editing etc…

    It's weird it wouldn't be somewhere, but try ctrl+alt+P to show document preferences
  • Perssonhenrik
    Does not work… Ctrl+Alt+P gives me a little square box in the text whilst in Word. Where in Word are the Zotero-buttons supposed to be – perhaps Ive just missed them?

    In Word 2016 there'd be a Zotero ribbon of its own
