Hi, (using word 2011 on OSX 10.6.7)

After switching from windows+zotero 2.(0.9 i think) to mac+zotero2.1.1+word plugin (3.1.1) i am unable now to use an old document and add citations as before.
Just try to add a citation and after 20-30 seconds a message pops out 'zotero experience an error updating your document...'

I did another test: just tried to open my old document (made in windows), set the document preferences, zotero says that my document will be upgraded. It appears to upgrade the document, or at least it asks me to choose the citation style.
I choose a citation style and the following error comes out after some seconds (report id 739722044):

I also tried to delete the bibliography and paste the contents of the document in a new document without success, or choose a different style.

After seeing another post, I tried to paste in applescript editor:

tell application "Microsoft Word" to name of active document

and it returns the name of my document


I also tried to paste in applescript editor (dont know if it makes sense):
tell application "Microsoft Word" to make new custom document property at active document with properties {name:"ZOTERO_PREF_1", value:"<data><session id=\"65lGMSdx\"/><style id=\"http://www.zotero.org/styles/mla\" hasBibliography=\"0\"/><prefs><pref name=\"fieldType\" value=\"Field\"/><pref name=\"noteType\" value=\"0\"/></prefs></data>"}

and it returns:

error "Microsoft Word got an error: Can’t make class custom document property." number -2710 from custom document property to class


Hope the error report is enough to understand what the problem is. If not, i can provide more details.

Thanks
