DOI Hyperlinks in MS Word Bibliography
Hi all,
Is this thread STILL the last word on how to make MS word citations have the DOI's appear as hyperlinks? https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/77079/ms-word-macro-to-convert-zotero-citations-into-clickable-hyperlinks
With all the updates going on with the upcoming v6 release, there really needs to be a citation style fix that allows DOI's (and URL's, but for academic writing it really is all about the DOIs) to inserted as clickable hyperlinks, which does NOT require an Unlink Citations step. Perhaps there is some technical hurdle that makes this "impossible", but I find it very very hard to believe.
If anyone has any insight into this or has found a painless workaround, I would love to hear it.

1. Select the bibliography
2. Press ctrl+shift+F9 (or ctrl+shift+FN+F9 depending on your settings) to remove the field codes in the bibliography -- the bibliography should no longer show as shaded
3. Keeping the bibliography selected, click Autoformat (which in newer Word version, you'll need to add to a Ribbon of your choice once).
This whole process takes 10 seconds at most, so not sure the inability of Zotero to do this out of the box is such a big deal.
