Error when inserting a citation into the middle of the text (Report ID 210914693)

**Title:** Zotero 10.0.6 and Word 365 – Error when inserting a citation into the middle of the text (Report ID 210914693)

Hello,

I am experiencing a persistent problem with the Zotero Word integration.

**System information:**
- Zotero 10.0.6 (64-bit)
- Microsoft Word for Microsoft 365, Version 2609, Build 16.0.20430.20032 (64-bit)
- Windows

**Problem:**

When I click “Refresh” in the Zotero tab in Word, everything works correctly. However, when I try to insert a new citation into the middle of an existing text using “Add/Edit Citation”, I receive the following error:

“An error occurred while updating your document.”

Sometimes Word closes automatically after this error appears.

The problem occurs repeatedly. Saving the document again may temporarily help, but the error returns.

**Troubleshooting steps already tried:**
- Saved a copy of the document outside OneDrive, on the local C: drive.
- Created a new Word document and copied the text into it.
- Reinstalled the Microsoft Word add-in through Zotero’s settings.
- Restarted Zotero and Word.

The problem persists.

**Zotero Report ID:** 210914693

Could someone help me identify the cause of this problem and suggest a solution?

Thank you!
