get a single digit in Word rather than a citation

Have reinstalled Zotero and chrome plug in. bibliography works fine. However, whenever I try to add a citation in a new Word document, I get only a single digit.

    You would get a number if you're using a numeric citation style. If you want author and date, choose an author-date style such as APA.

    (Since this is often misunderstood, note that citation styles are set for each document via "Document Preferences" in the Zotero Word add-on.)

    APA style works for me for author and date. However, I need AMA style, and get only a single digit as superscript (and nothing else) when I try to insert a citation. I can then replace the Zotero field to a bibliography and get the full citation in AMA style.
  • dstillman
    AMA is a numeric style. An AMA in-text citation is a number.

    If you actually want an author-date style, you can pick one from the styles page:

    Is what you're looking for maybe a note style? Sounds to me like you want a full citation rather than a number?
    Try Chicago full note/note that already comes with Zotero.

    Also, to insert the bibliography at the end of the paper, place your cursor where you want the bibliography in your document and click the Add/Edit Bibliography button in the Zotero tab in Word
