Citations in word are appearing in bold after Zotero 7 update

luapk
Since I updated on the new Zotero (Zotero 7) version all my citations in word are appearing in bold. I use citation style Chicago Manual (full note) which I used before when I did not have that problem and the citations appeared in normal text.

What I tried and did not work:
-> check my font settings in word (paragraph style is not set on bold)
-> switch document preferences to another style and switch back (citations are still in bold)

Do you have any idea how to solve the issue?

Thanks a lot!

    Switch to something like APA and then back to CMoS.

    Thank you, I already switched the document preferences to APA and back to CMoS and the citations are still bold. Any other idea?

    Do you see this in a new document with CMoS?
  • luapk
    Yes, I also tried closing Zotero and Word and I have also restarted my mac.

    But have you tried a completely fresh document, insert 1 citation and add a bibliography?
    This info helps with troubleshooting your problem for you.
  • luapk
    Yes, I have just created a new plain word-document for the testing.

    If you edit the Footnote style in Word is the setting to set the font to Bold toggled? Does this happen with other note citation styles?
  • luapk
    Yes, I have double-checked the settings and bold is not toggled.

    With APA it's not bold, problem happens only with CMoS.

    APA is not a footnote style. Try something like Modern Humanities Research Association style.

    Unfortunately the error still occurs. Also Modern Humanities Research Association style appears bold. Any ideas how to solve the issue ? Thank you :)

    If you insert a footnote into a document yourself and type some text there does it appear bold?
  • luapk
    No, it doesn’t.

    Could you create a Debug ID for an insertion of a footnote citation?

    If you copy some text somewhere (like here in the Zotero forum) and paste it into a Word footnote does it appear bold? What word text style (name of style) is set for the bold Zotero inserted citation?

    I copied text from the forum and inserted it as a footnote, apparently the text was not bold in the footnote. The text style is Times New Roman.

    The text style is Times New Roman.
    That is the font. The text style is listed in Word Home -> Style Pane under Current Style. Do you use any macOS application that interacts with your clipboard (like keeps history or modifies its contents)?

    Thanks for your suggestions,

    I checked the current style in the style pane, it says "standard". I also switched to bold and then back to standard but Zotero is still showing the citations in bold.

    I do not use any applications that interact with the clipboard.

    If you temporarily switch Word to English (you might need to change the OS setting and restart Word or your Mac), do the footnotes look correctly?

    Thank you so much that worked! I changed the language settings for word in the Mac system settings to English and then switched back to German. Now the footnotes are normal again.
