 Prefixes and suffixes can be applied to each item in a citation to create complex citations. For example: "(see Smith 1776 for the classic example; Marx 1867 presents and alternate view)". Modifying citations by entering text into the Prefix and Suffix fields is always preferable to directly typing in the citation fields in Word. Manual modifications will prevent Zotero from automatically updating the citation. Prefixes and suffixes can be applied to each item in a citation to create complex citations.

-With author-date styles, authors are often moved into the text and omitted from the following parentheses-enclosed citation, e.g.: "...according to Smith (1776) the division of labor is crucial...". To omit the authors from the cite, check the "Suppress Author" box (this will result in a cite like "(1776)" instead of "(Smith, 1776)") and write the author's name ("Smith") as part of the regular text in your document. +With author-date styles, authors are often moved into the text and omitted from the following parentheses-enclosed citation, e.g.: "According to Smith (1776), the division of labor is crucial…".

-After you've inserted the bibliography using the “Add/Edit Bibliography” ({{:word_integration:zotero-toolbar-word-add-edit-bibliography-5.png?16&nocache&nolink}}) button, click the button again to open the Edit Bibliography window.+As you add and remove citations in the document, Zotero will automatically update the bibliography to reflect your changes. Generally, that's all you have to do. 
 + 
 +In rare cases, however, you may want to add uncited sources to your bibliography (e.g., items included in a review but not cited in the paper) or remove items that are cited in text but which should not be included in the bibliography (e.g., personal communications). To do this, click the “Add/Edit Bibliography” ({{:word_integration:zotero-toolbar-word-add-edit-bibliography-5.png?16&nocache&nolink}}) button again to open the Edit Bibliography window:
  
 {{ :word_processor_edit_bibliography.png?nolink&700 |}} {{ :word_processor_edit_bibliography.png?nolink&700 |}}
  
-In this window, you can add uncited sources to your bibliography (e.g., items included in a review but not cited in the paper) or remove items that are cited in text but which should not be included in the bibliography (e.g., personal communications).+You can then use the arrows to add or remove items.
  
 While it is also possible to edit the text or formatting of bibliography references in this window, doing so is discouraged. References edited here will not be automatically updated by Zotero if you change the data in your library. Editing references here is also somewhat unreliable; several users have reported that modifications made here sometimes do not persist when Zotero references, among other issues. While it is also possible to edit the text or formatting of bibliography references in this window, doing so is discouraged.
