How it works

Step Pick your file. Drop your Word file into the window. CiteMove finds every Citavi citation, in the text and in footnotes.
Step Read the report. You see up front how many sources are already in Zotero, which will be created and which you should take a quick look at. This part is free.
Step Convert and refresh. CiteMove saves a new file next to your original. Open it in Word, click Refresh in the Zotero tab and pick your citation style.
