OK -- problem identified -- in Word, I had added Zotero buttons to the Quick Access toolbar. These were from an old version of Zotero, presumably. When I click on the Zotero toolbar and add citations from there, all is well. (I have removed the…

I start a new document. I click on Project.Zotero.ZoteroEditCitation button in Toolbar. Error message appears: "You must insert a citation before performing the operation" Word 365
-
Notes: I've tried restarting the computer, opening new files, opening existing files with existing Zotero citations -- in no case can I insert a citation, I always get this error. If I place the cursor inside an existing citation, however, I can ed…

D731428789 or D315162080 The latter is cleaner.

On a second computer, the problem is worse; nothing I can do allows me to add a citation -- the citation box flashes up, filled in with green, and then a window with the message, "You must place the cursor in a citation to edit it". This happens in…
-
I ran into the same problem. I tried selecting the whole text, cutting it (CTRL-X), and then placing the citation in the blank document. This worked. I then pasted the removed text before the citation. This worked, and I now am able to add cita…

My first response was to install (or reinstall, as I think they were already up-to-date) the current versions. This did not fix the problem, however. I am using Zotero for Firefox and the Zotero Word plugin.
-
Adam, Thanks for the fix! Adam: I apologize for complaining, but really, I have only done so when promised deadlines have not remotely been held to. In the present case, one week was promised and four weeks passed without the problem being fixed, …
-
OK...end of the week was a bit optimistic. The problem is still there on April 2 (4 weeks later). Or...it's half-fixed. Brandt is now before Brandstetter but Cole comes after Coleridge!
-
Yes, thank you for implementing this solution. LiborA: this was an addition made in response to this and similar request threads. And yes, it should be documented somewhere!
-
That sounds good. I have now found other, similar discrepancies. It appears that sometimes when two surnames have all the same initial letters, but one is longer than the other (Mill and Miller, Stein and Steiner, Cole and Coleridge), the order is r…
-
Thanks, Adam. I wasn't sure what was the source of the problem.
-
That's certainly true! This discussion thread is already 6 years old!
-
Version 4 is out, without a field for Original Date of Publication. It looks like the temporary workaround in the Extra field is likely to remain the permanent solution.
-
Make sure that you are signed in to Zotero (in the Firefox addin or freestanding program, for example) and click "Sync".
-
I was suddenly getting the same result -- not able to either edit old citations or add new ones. I didn't do an import or export explicitly, but I did begin using my Zotero database on a new machine, for which I had to sync. When I returned to the …
-
This bug seems to have been squashed: hooray and thanks to the anonymous hero!
-
The same error arose for me. I Closing and reopening the document solved the problem. After a bit, the error returned. Closing and reopening the document solved the problem again.
-
Thanks for the helpful clarification. I think that the updated APA citation engine is reversing the order of the dates, however: the original date should appear first, I believe.
-
The workaround you mention only works in some citation formats. So an independent field remains critical. This could perhaps be implemented via your suggestion of a "related to" field, but this sounds like it would require a fundamental overhaul o…
-
RESOLVED A word of thanks: this feature was added some time ago! Great work.
-
I realize your question may have been more generally directed, but in the case of APA citation style, there is no such thing as a "Zotero footnote", as Zotero citations are inserted inline.
-
I am using APA citation style. The text includes footnotes with explanatory text, within which there are separate citations. I cannot edit any citations within the footnotes except by moving these into the main body text.
-
Word 2010, and it is a Word footnote. (Can you insert footnotes with Zotero?)
-
That would work as long as there are not multiple books by the same author--these would trigger strange behavior in the citations, I would guess.
-
Thanks, Adam; I've deleted the unused macro. As you say, it's better to keep the code clean, even though in this case it should have no effect. We're looking forward to the non-workaround version!
-
I have developed my own workaround -- a Zotero CSL stylesheet that expands APA 6th edition format to recognize the location in archive field as the year of original publication. (This field is rarely, if ever, used by the standard citation engines, …
-
That works; thanks. (It's still annoying, but more recoverably so.)
-
Given the complexities of changes to the data base, I wonder if this couldn't be implemented through a user switch. A Zotero option could be "use {field x} as original date of publication". The text "original date of publication" could then replace …
