Merging Word documents and getting a consolidated bibliography

mdscaglione
Is it possible to consolidate many documents containing Zotero references into one single document and get a consolidated bibliography? Although the fields are copied into the consolidated document, I get the following message when I try to get the consolidated bibliography: "You must insert a citation before performing this operation".

Thanks in advance,

Matias

    which word processor are you using?
    In general you can copy Zotero citations from one document to the next - that includes merging entire documents using copy and paste, so if that's not working something is going wrong and we need to find out where.

    Thanks. I'm using MS Word 2007.

    I've had similar problems with OOo and maybe the same solution will help you, see:

    Thanks Gitty K! Your trick also works in MS Word 2007.

    I am having the same problem, but Gitty K's solution didn't work for me so far! Instead it keeps asking me to reselect for my citations, which I could do, but I have over 400 of them, so I'd rather find out if there is a better solution.

    I am also using MS Word 2007.

    Penny - please provide more details, including what exactly you're doing, what error messages/messages you're getting etc.
