Upgrade StorageIncorrect Chicago citation using Zotero Word Plugin
I am using the Zotero plugin for Word and the Chicago Manual of Style, 18th edition (notes and bibliography). When I cite a work with multiple volumes, the citation in Word is incorrect, even though it is correct in Zotero.
The incorrect citation using the Zotero Word plugin looks like this:
-Bryan Edwards, The History Civil and Commercial, of the British Colonies in the West Indies: In Two Volumes (Luke White, 1793), 2:276.
The correct citation should look like this:
-Bryan Edwards, The History Civil and Commercial, of the British Colonies in the West Indies: In Two Volumes, vol. 2 (Luke White, 1793), 276.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The style will not combine the volume and page number if it detects that the latter is non-numeric. I would check first that that the number is entered as a page locator rather than a suffix, and that there are no stray characters. If everything looks right, perhaps try switching to another style in Word and then back to Chicago?
All my information in Zotero matches yours, but I keep getting a weird combined volume and page number at the end in Word. Switching to a new style in Word did not fix the error and there aren't any stray characters. When I switched from "Page" to "Part" in the Word Plugin it provided me with the correct citation, so I think it is only happening when I enter a page number in the "Page" section.
