Re the "need for speed": While splitting up large documents is often recommended as a cure-all for everything wrong with Word, it can also be impractical (think global search and replace), causes additional work (assembly of individual files) or eve…

Hold on, I forgot to tag/untag the entries when I restored the correct version of zotero.sqlite. I guess that explains it.
-
Everything seems to work now with the restored older zotero.sqlite file. However, when I sync this local file with the most recent one on Zotero.org I get (only) 7 sync conflicts (with a total of 500+ entries) *but* Zotero will then complain that al…
-
By "changed" I mean that I made changes to some entries in the Zotero library after I inadvertently broke the links in the Word documents (probably by ex-/importing the library). These changes are mostly corrections of titles, names, dates (small st…
-
Thanks to your suggestions, I could restore a version of zotero.sqlite (from my Dropbox history) that seems to have all the items referenced in the Word documents (except one) and thus let me uncheck the "Store references in document" box. In a…

Thank you all for your help. I followed aurimas' instructions with a copy of the zotero.sqlite I thought was old enough. Funnily, though, only 3 of the 500+ items showed up with a sync conflict and the "Store references in document" box is still gre…

Word:mac 2011 (14.3.2) EDIT: I will provide a debug ID as proposed by Simon once I have assembled the thirty documents into one big file.
-
Okay, thanks guys for your help. I'll think about it and then try one of the suggested strategies.
-
I'll have to check my Dropbox history... EDIT: I have several versions in my Dropbox history going back to about a month. What could I do once I have figured out which of these versions is the best?
-
Ah, I see... which means I'm f*#!&d (pardon my language): I have 30 single documents (making up an edited collection) with 1500+ references to 500+ items. Yes, at some point I had to export/import my library (can't remember why). That seems to h…

Thanks -- and sorry for ignoring the straightforward explanation in the specification.
-
Okay, I've narrowed it down to the minimum example below. There is something about the syntax of CSL (especially the group tag) that I don't understand because the line (or a similar one) breaks the following conditional. 1 http://…

Sorry: I never even noticed the "Edit bibliography" entry in Word's menu. I can see how it would be tedious to use that feature. The second approach, however, is clever, thanks! It will also be somewhat cumbersome, though, because the volume consist…
-
Okay, how would I do that (i.e. register all references of the complete document as "uncited" items in the individual chapter files)?
-
I thought about splitting the Word file into separate documents for each chapter and then merging them into one big file when I'm done editing them. However, this probably wouldn’t work (I guess, I haven't actually tried) because ambiguous author-ye…
-
May I ask why you want people to put whole sentences into the prefix and suffix fields of references? I don't want to get religious here but to me a reference is just that: a "pointer" to a source, not a statement. In (at least some parts of) the hu…
-
Any chance we might change their mind? I guess *never* capitalizing the ibid term when there is a prefix *except* when the style says otherwise produces correct output more often than not, thereby reducing the need for final editing.
-
I will let this go in a moment but I wonder: Is a prefix not necessarily *not* a sentence of it's own? And shouldn't terms following a prefix therefore *never* be capitalized? After all, if what comes right before a reference is a complete sentence …
-
Yes, of course, "Vgl.". Thanks for the hint!
-
When using the CSL style Chicago Manual of Style (full note) from 10/25/2012 with Zotero 3.0.11.1 and Word:mac 2011 14.2.5 the ibid term is still capitalized in references containing a prefix. What am I doing wrong here? (I am implementing a custom …
-
I had the most recent version of the plugin but the problem was indeed related to the fact that the style was not valid (thanks for pointing out the online validator). Now that the style is valid, inserting citations works. Thanks, Sebastian!
-
Sorry about the link. It should be http://tillheilmann.info/tah-gkw.csl
-
That, of course, is a much better way of doing it. Thanks for the hint!
-
Gitty, I don't have a solution for your problem but as you are obviously working on a style for a german journal you might check out my styles "tah Geistes- u. Kulturwissenschaften" and "tah Sozialwissenschaften". They are not meant for a specific j…
-
Ah, the previews now show up! Maybe it just takes some time for the system to register...
-
Sorry, somehow I missed that! Works fine now. I have uploaded the two custom styles (tah Geistes- u. Kulturwissenschaften, tah Sozialwissenschaften). Unfortunately, when I hover the mouse over the links the preview of the styles don't work ("St…
