If you are getting this error, then you probably reached the limit of VBA script. I guess to many bibliographic entries... The solution to this is simple and it is a bug in zotero code that has been identified by Mat Hickman. Here is my zotero.dot file it you are interested. :: Here is the process (I copied and pasted from his post here): Vba is visual basic for applications and is a programming language by microsoft that allows you to automate programs in their office suite. Patching the code is, basically, safe. Anyway, just take a copy of zotero.dot before you start playing! Step by step instructions follow... 1. Shut down all instances of Word. Find zotero.dot and right click on it; choose open (default is 'New'). 2. You should be faced with a blank document. Press Alt+F11 and the vba editor will appear. On the left [...]

By |2016-01-12T21:11:04+02:00September 18th, 2008|politics|0 Comments

Bernard-Henri Lévy, France's "rock-star philosopher," and Slavoj Žižek, the Slovanian "Elvis of cultural theory," will scrutinize the totalitarianisms of the past as well as those of the future, as they argue for a new political and moral vision for our times and investigate the limits of tolerance. Does the advent of capitalism cause more violence than it prevents? Is there violence in the simple idea of the neighbor? asks Zizek in Violence: Six Sideways Reflections.

Would you like to hide surfing trails that the Firefox browser leaves behind?
