Runtime Error
Hi, everyone. I'm working in Word 2002 on WindowsXP(SP2). I have one file in particular, which likes to raise a runtime error (the code it provides is 5891), saying "That property is not available on that object," when I attempt to insert a Zotero note or bibliography. I can edit existing Zotero notes perfectly.
Initially, the error seemed to be tied to a table of contents I had at the beginning of the document. I deleted the TOC, reinserted it, and the error ceased appearing. However, the error began appearing again, and after deleting the TOC, saving the file, and rebooting my machine, the behavior is still the same.
I have this problem with no other file (as yet), but since this file is rather large, I would like to keep it instead of beginning anew if at all possible :-).
I would greatly appreciate any help you guys can offer. Thanks so much!

You might try copying sections of the document into a new document to see if you can reproduce the error. If so, you could send us just the excerpt.
Otherwise, you'd have to toggle field codes in the document (Alt-F9 or Option-F9) and look for a field code that looked incorrect and/or different from the others, but that might be difficult.
Mine looked like this: VIRTUAL ORGANISATIONS{ XE "VIRTUAL ORGANISATIONS"}
It is not a final solution but it works. I hope someone can fix it.
Thanks, again.
I send you a sample document with the error. To reproduce it just try to insert a citation on page 8 (On some other pages it is not reproducible).
I was not able to figure out what makes it happen, but there seems to be a bug somewhere…

I don't have an index in the file like those above.
This is the latest version 1 Word plugin, and error occurs in Word 2003 doc file and Word 2007 docx.
ps
the index entries are the entries between the fields marked as {XE .....}
Problem description:
+ If I use the e.g. the {TC...} fields of MS Word to mark additional index entries I can't insert a new citations after the first {TC...} field.
Workarounds:
+ I'm still able to insert a new citation before the first {TC...} field and I'm able to insert a new citation if the insert mark is direct at (or inside) a zotero citation field.
+ I can copy & paste a Zotero citation field and edit the citation.
+ I can first insert the Zotero citation and than insert the {TC...} fields at the end of my work with document.
I hope this can be fixed in (one of) the next Word plugin version.
Sincerely,

One workaround
Use the automark feature of work to do the indexing with index items held in a simple table in another file.
use
http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-22_11-6170792.html
to remove index fields
do all the citation work
Lastly run the autoindexing to finish up the document
This on word 2008 for mac with latest Zotero and plugin
Would be nice if the clash with index fields could be resolved
