How to share Zotero
Dear all
This is just a howto question. I have a problem with my Zotero (2.0.9) and sharing MS word documents, which I have prepared with it.
When I share a document with someone else, this results in two problems:
i) If the other person does not use Zotero, he cannot access the Zotero fields. This is okay. But even when I export my Zotero library, share it with him or her and he or she imports it, MS word still cannot access the Zotero fields. So, this is my first question. How can I share my Zotero-prepared documents in order to let others change them using Zotero?
ii) My second and even more important concern is with the conservation of Zotero fields. Whenever someone has edited a MS word file from me and sends it back to me, my own Zotero does not recognize the Zotero fields anymore. So for each iteration, I have to re-insert all fields. This cannot be as it is meant to be and I am sure that it's just me who uses the programm insufficiently.
Please let me know how to use Zotero's potential for collaboration best.
Thanks!

does this group feature require me to save my zotero library on a server (so not on my computer)?
Best regards
I'm not sure about your second problem - technically it should be possible for field codes to remain in the document even as other people, without Zotero, work with it - I'm not sure how this works at the moment, though.
Best regards
