Capitalization of the citing in Mac Word
Good day
The citing in the text is automatically capitalized by either Zotero or MS Word. Example: (Felson and Spaeth, 1978) is recorded as (FELSON AND SPAETH, 1978).
Is this a Zotero or MS Word problem? Can someone help me to fix it please? I am not technologically advanced.
Thanks
Johann

Change the style and it will render differently.
Thank you for the reply. That is not the solution. The rest of my document is correct. It is only recent citings that gets capitalized.

Did you check how the data is entered in Zotero itself?
If it is in capitals there, you'll need to change that manually.
The data in Zotero is not capitalized.

Can you tell us which citation style you have set under "Document Preferences" in the Zotero tab in Word?
It could be that your previous citations got flattened (i.e. they are JUST text) and new citations that you're adding are added with a different citation style.
See this guide on how to access the Document Preferences and please give the full, exact name of the style you're using: https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_usage
I did what you said but the problem does not go away. This means that I will have to look for an alternative program as I am in the final stages of my doctoral thesis, which must be submitted by the end of the month.
We're trying to help you here, within minutes, but we also have little information to go by. Please be collaborative here.
Can you switch to APA, then take screenshots of a section of your text that shows a correct and faulty citation, and also screenshot from your Document Preferences (Zotero tab in Word)?
Also, open a completely new document, add a few citations and check it's working correctly.
Google Drive, Dropbox or a service like https://imgbb.com/

Also, in your original document, can you confirm that your citations are active? See https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/existing_citations_not_detected
You should see a bunch of code that starts with { ADDIN ZOTERO
could we please see a screenshot that includes the entire code for that citation with the two items?
