You'll need to provide more details (specific steps, your operating system and word processor, etc.), but I'm sure someone here will be able to help you. (I'm just commenting so that you can add this information by the time they have a chance to loo…

@adomasven and others, thanks! I'll let you know if I notice anything unusual going forward, but that sounds fine.

OK, 5.0.67.3 does seem to be working with some basic testing. Is there any more rigorous or specific testing you would suggest to confirm it works consistently? Or, if it seems to be working, does that mean it's reliable to use for important docume…

No, it's still crashing on the bibliography, and now seems like also sometimes when editing a citation. There was also a weird bug with the field in Word: I tried adding a page number, so from (Smith 2015) to (Smith 2015:9) and somehow the Word fie…

@Tahles -- The only immediate solution is reverting to an older version of Zotero. See bwiernik's post above: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/334001/#Comment_334001

Same here: Inserting the citation seemed to work, but then I tried to insert a bibliography below, and it showed the temporary field for a moment, then "Zotero quit unexpectedly". (This is in a new document.) Tested a bit more, and this seems consi…

See the long linked thread above. The problem is that the fields can become unstable under certain conditions, apparently especially when they're immediately adjacent to each other and editing (by clicking between them) might somehow mix up the boun…

OK, thanks!

Additional thoughts: 1. Is there any way in Word to make fields un-editable? In principle, this would also solve the problem of users editing cites manually, and the annoying (but necessary) warning that pops up. If the cites could be automatically…

Thanks for those tricks. No, I won't do this a lot, but it's good to know some workarounds for when it comes up.
-
What would you recommend in this case? I've seen this come up before but it was jut a curiosity and not a practical issue. I don't often write in italics (or bold), so this hasn't come up before, but in this document I have a long table, in which s…

It seems that if I highlight exactly and only the Zotero field and then specifically italicize that in Word, it may preserve that formatting after a refresh, but not when I select and format the whole paragraph. Am I on to something? (Word 2011 on…

But the "Cornell Working Paper Series" has publication information (page numbers, volume number, journal name, etc.). I don't see why you would want to treat it as the same thing as an unpublished article on an internet repository. (That is, while y…

That makes sense, but it would mean that "working paper" isn't a special category, just an alternative name sometimes used for journal articles (in a "lesser" journal) and other times for a paper-in-archive. Not that I object to having a specific c…
-
In my discipline, a working paper is not the same as a preprint. It's essentially a "lesser" journal article, printed in a "lesser" working papers journal.* I wasn't aware that it would need to be cited any differently than a normal journal article.…

Ah, thanks. That may be the case (and some of my entries are older than that, mostly manually fixed now). Since it's hard to find these, and I haven't noticed them often (but do import names with diacritics often), you may be right. But I will keep …
-
Sorry if this is a bit out of place, but while the topic of diacritics has been brought up, I've noticed confusing behavior for unicode characters versus ascii characters plus unicode modifier diacritics. That is, you can form é either as a special …

Bump, if you don't mind: I'm not quite sure of the logic on how to implement this.

I understand why this is disabled (it wouldn't provide the useful reminder to refresh before saving the final draft), but I have to agree it would be convenient when working on a very long document to have most of the references in the bibliography,…

No. Reports are formatted differently in some styles, so you must use report plus additional information in Extra, in order to achieve a properly formatted "report section".
-
@poettli, for report sections, which don't have as many options as book chapters. (This is not needed for normal book chapters, for which there is a special type.)
-
Yes, create separate entries for each chapter, and cite for those authors as separate works (which is really what they are, just like journal articles that happen to be published in an edited volume). -- This would only get tricky if you somehow n…

Same as here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/75544/word-2016-mac-plugin-very-slow Yes, the solution is to work in another document (even open at the same time!) and copy/paste between them. It's slightly awkward at first but then a very fast w…

HTML formatting should be possible. Works for me.

Minor additions: 1. Auto-complete for authors will show you all names if you supply the first letter. Do that 26 times for each letter (or more if you happen to have any in non-English letters) and you'll get a full list of names. It won't be strict…
