Note: Editing a citation directly in Word will prevent Zotero from being able to automatically update the citation to reflect other changes in the document (e.g., for 'ibid'). This will cause a pop-up window to appear asking you to confirm that you want to keep the edit and prevent the citation from being updated automatically going forward. To edit a citation directly in a Word document, click the footnote and make the necessary changes.Īfter you make a manual edit, click the 'refresh button' in the Zotero tab. The only way to address this kind of error is to edit the citation directly in the Word document.

However, if a citation is incorrectly formatted or the wrong information has been included, then the problem may lie in the way that Zotero has been programed to generate Canadian legal citations.

If a citation is simply incorrect or missing data, start by making sure that the item metadata in your Zotero library is correct and complete, and then click Refresh in the word processing plugin to update your document with any changes. This is especially true for Canadian cases and legislation. The citations that Zotero generates in 'McGill Guide' style may not always be correct.
