Hello,
I have a paper written in Word with Zotero for citations. I have recently switched back to Bookends and would like to replace the embedded citations to work with Bookends. Is there a way to replace the Zotero citations with Bookends? For example, change the superscript ¹ linked to Zotero to a Bookends Bibliography.
I have tried to google and search this forum, but I may not be inputting the correct search terms to find a potential solution.
Thanks!
Replace citations of another reference manager (Zotero) in an already-written-word-doc
Re: Replace citations of another reference manager (Zotero) in an already-written-word-doc
I really don't know much about Zotero's citations. But I just took a look and their temporary citations look like this (generated with Copy Citation in Zotero):
(Umelo-Njaka, Nomellini, Yim, et al. 2001; Patterson 2001; Jacobs, Hung, and Shapiro 2001; Umelo-Njaka, Nomellini, Bingle, et al. 2001; Brun 2001; Awram and Smit 2001; Shier, Hancey, and Benkovic 2001)
This is similar to what Bookends does, except we use { } to delimit temp citations. So you could change the parentheses to curly brackets. Of course, a scan in Bookends may lead to ambiguous citations (because just the authors and year aren't very specific). If this happens, you can do a Proofreading scan in Bookends and let it help you replace them with exact temp citations.
Maybe someone else will have another solution for you.

No worries! Thanks for the suggestion. My embedded Zotero temporary citations didn't look as simple as that for some reason. Word was freaking out and crashing when I was messing around with them.
So I just spent the last three hours re-doing the citations in the entire paper. I unliked/deleted the Zotero citation hyperlinks and kept track which numbers correspond to which papers. Then replaced them with my Bookends citations.
Bright side is I got to review every citation in my paper to re-familiarize them before submitting for publication!
