Editing the citations in someone else's paper
I am editing a paper written by a colleague. Some of the Zotero items are not citing properly. For example, one of the references is (Smith, John C. 1989), but should rightfully be (Smith 1989). Probably the name format in the Zotero entry is incorrect.
Is there a way for me to edit this without unlinking or creating a shared library? I recall that there may once have been something called a traveling library (approximately) that traveled with the paper and that it was possible to edit that. But I may be misrecalling or it may no longer be available.
The paper is written in Word. The citation style is Springer - Basic (author-date).
Thank you.

Thanks and thanks for Zotero.
The technical basics are easy (I think juris-m even used to have a basic version a while back), but both conceptually and in terms of UI there are some thornier issues.
For those interested, the tweak by Frank Bennett with Juris-M works well. There is two methods. If you don't need Juris-M, use the second method. So, now you can extract citation information from a Word document AND the citations stay linked between the document and Zotero.
