& # 3 8 ; (without spaces) gets inserted into Word APA citations, why?

edited today at 3:20am
I have to manually change each "& # 3 8 ;" (no spaces) to "&" and then refresh Zotero and tell it to ignore my every such change. Why is this happening? I understand that it is a code in HTML that just means "&", but why is my MS Word writing it out literally?

I'm working on a dissertation, heavily referenced with dual authors, so this is moderately annoying. I'll look at the 'Word Processor Integration' thread as suggested, but I'm wondering if others have had this exact issue and can point me to an exact and quick fix. Is it a glitch in Zotero or some issue with how I have set up my Word?

  • This is very much not a general issue with APA (or any other citation style) and Zotero-generated citations in Word.
    Which version of Zotero and Word are you using?
