Change of Citation-Style AFTER project is finished. Help!

manuel229
I need urgent help! I need to change my citation style and my thesis is already done. I have used the classic german citation model, which means I have cited in footnotes. But my prof. prefers APA-style and thus intext citation. How can I change that? Do I have to change all citations each one by one? If I go via document preferences (in windows word) and choose APA, then it changes some parts, but the footnotes stay as they are and there are no in-text citations added.
Thanks for your help!

    How did you insert citations the first time? And what citation style were you using initially?

    Hello bwiernik! I initially used a specific type from the university of vienna, which fitted to the previous style I wanted. It was made with footnotes and numbering. But now I need in-text citation instead of foot notes.

    Did you enter the citations manually or did you use the Word plug-in (assuming that you wrote in Word)?
    If you used the Word plug-in you just need to change it in your Word file by going to the Zotero tab (in Word) and clicking on Document Preferences.

    Yes, that was my question. Did you insert the citations with Zotero using the Add/Edit Citation button in the Zotero tab, or did you enter them manually (e.g., by inserting a footnote yourself, then typing the citation text or dragging from Zotero)?
