You can create separate documents in Word and combine them at the end. (There is no way to do this with Zotero in a single document.)
This will be better anyway, because when writing a long document with many Zotero citations, Word will slow down, so having separate documents will help.
Zotero is great for many things, but it only can create one bibliography per document. But I really think this will be helpful to you in the end. Even if you want a single bibliography, it's best to write each chapter in a separate document to avoid very slow editing once the document gets too long.
Actually, there may be a solution, but it uses a somewhat outdated method in Word. If you search for "master document" online you will find information about how to embed multiple documents within a single Word document for the whole thesis. That will still allow you to edit the chapters separately (which, again, will be helpful!), but you can view your combined document any time, automatically combined.
The best approach to do this and yield a combined document at the end is to write each chapter in a separate document, add the bibliographies, then use the “Unlink Citstions” button in Word to convert the live Zotero citations into regular text before combining them.
Hi, same question over here (giving Word "a another try"). The thing I wonder is the integration part. It seems possible to select Word files (e.g. Ch1, Ch2, etc.) using Insert > Object > Text from file and create a new Word from it. But I would really prefer seeing those separate "docs" in a structured navigation (sections) as nearly all mature TeX-GUIs would provide this navigation. How do you handle this? I try to first find native solutions before checking for addons. (This is off-topic.)
Update. Looking into View > Outline, which seems to allow the creation of subdocuments etc.

Thank you for your answer!
