Changing citation styles in a word document

Chrissel28
Hello,
I have written my Thesis using the Chicago Manual of Style 17th Edition (full note), now I have to Change it into a citation style that is alphabetical. I am working with Windows 10, Word 2016 and Zotero 5.0.77. I have downloaded several alphabetical citation styles from the repository, but when I add a citation in word, only a number with no citation appears.
Can someone tell me how I can Change my citations into an alphabetical citation style?

The other Question I have: when I quote the same source multiple times, I get a new number and Zotero counts them as a new citation. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

Best regards.

    You can change the style by clicking on the plugin's Document Preferences button.

    If the old citations are no longer actually active, see Existing Citations Not Detected.

    To be clear, though, that's how Chicago Manual is supposed to work

    Thank you for your quick response.

    I changed the citation style using document preferences but it changed nothing in my document. Do you have a recommendation for a citation style that sorts alphabetical?

    Try American Psychological Association or Chicago author-date.

    If things still aren't changing, see my link above.
