at least in one of my manuscripts

Confirmed. There is a hard-coded path into the compiled code

I tried to fix this in the latest version, and it works for me in the manuscript where it previously failed. What version of Word do you have? Does it work in a new document with just one field?

The path is there because I use the __FILE__ preprocessor instruction so that I know where the exceptions come from. I could try to chop off the path part and hope the compiler optimizes it out, but it's not related to the issue here.

Word 2011. The problem appears in both new documents and a document that I have had for a while. (Maybe created with Zotero 2.0, but I cannot remomber exactly)

mronkko commented 12 years ago

To clarify: Creating a new document with just one field and then choosing "remove field codes" results in error.

Are you sure that your clone is up to date? (If you were previously on the scriptingBridge branch, you will have to switch to master.) I don't think the present code should be able to give an error message with that line number.

mronkko commented 12 years ago

I believe that I am currently not using the git version, but the released version. In Zotero standalone the version of the word integration is 3.5.

simonster commented 12 years ago

The current version available on the website is 3.5.2. If you install the plugin manually into Zotero Standalone (as opposed to using the bundled plugin), it doesn't automatically update.
