Citations gone from document
Hello!
As I just noticed all citations I added to my dissertation document are no longer linked to Zotero. They're still in the file, but when I go there with the curser, they don't turn grey anymore.
I read in another thread, that changing the file from .doc to .odt will delete all Zotero links. I haven't done anything like that. The only thing I recently changed was the layout of the document.
All older versions I could find of that file are showing the same problem.
Any chance I can retrieve the lost information?
Big thanks for any kind of help,
Alex

As I mentioned, the only thing I changed recently were styles of the headings/subheadings (that's what I meant with layout).
Well, looks like I need to insert them all manually again. I'm glad that they're not gone completly, that would've been way worse.
Or is there any kind of function that recognises the papers through the citations in the text (for example (Weber et al., 2006:34)) and then links it automatically? I guess you would've suggested it. Maybe something to consider in the future.
Thank you anyway. Have a good day!
Shouldn't take too long if you use the keyboard shortcuts: https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_shortcuts
