error: this.registry.citationreg.citationBId[c[0]] is undefined
I got this message when trying to insert a footnote into a word document. Something may be wrong with my account because I am having random issues on both of my computers. Help!

The cursor moves to a seemingly random note in my document and I get the following pop up message: This item no longer exists in your Zotero database. Do you want to select a substitute item? Clicking no will delete the field codes for citations containing this item, preserving the citation text but deleting it from your bibliography. When I check my zotero library these items are always still there, right where they have always been.
Could this have anything to do with having updated my document to use 2.7.1?
Help!
Upgrading shouldn't have changed anything, no.
Have you tried to select a "substitute" for a couple of citations? It could be that you had a duplicated copy of one item and deleted one or something along those lines - just because an identical item is in your library that doesn't mean it's actually the one you told Zotero to use.

I selected a sub and then it let me insert a note, but when I selected the book and page number and hit ok it gave me this error again: "zotero experienced an error updating your document. this.registry.citationreg.citationById[c[0]] is undefined.
Do you mean non-zotero plug-ins in Word??
So is this a problem with a corrupted word document?

And I told you to _either_ wait for 2.1.7 _or_ install the branch xpi and to revert back to the regular release once 2.1.7 comes out - which it did two days ago, so you shouldn't be using the branch xpi anymore.
"Item no longer exists in your Zotero database" error:
I have a Word doc and frequently, when I add a citation, it points to the last instance of citation [1], which has not changed since last error (sometimes I haven't even used my browser since this error last occurred!), and the item is still in the Zotero library so I select it again. It accepts this as fine, until I go to add a different citation, and then I need to re-associate the citation with the record. So far it's only picked on this one record, which is cited multiple times, and it just chooses one of those citations to pick on. It is definitely NOT the case that I had multiple identical items and deleted one.
I am also getting the error in the title of this thread, after "correcting" the one citation and then trying to add the new citation. It shows me the Library and I can select an entry, but the dialogue seems to be dead or not allowing an "OK" response. The title error appears after selecting Cancel. Copying everything over to a new Word doc seems to temporarily address this.
I'm using Word 2008 for Mac 10.6, Zotero 2.1.7, Firefox 4.0.1, and the "ACM SIGCHI Conference Proceedings" citation style (thanks adamsmith).
