"Nature Journal" style in OO and @proceedings

da
I've just started using zotero, and I must say that it's a great tool. I only noticed two minor issues:

- when inserting a citation in openoffice, using the "Nature Journal" style, I get a "BASIC runtime error. Object variable not set", and the "My macros & Dialogs.Zotero" windows pops up, with the cursor positioned at a line that reads "oRange.setPropertyToDefault ("CharPosture")" (line 1369, col 52). This line is part of the following function (in the hope that providing the context could help):

Sub subResetFontprops(oRange)
#If MSWD Then
oRange.Font.Reset
#Else
oRange.setPropertyToDefault ("CharPosture")
oRange.setPropertyToDefault ("CharWeight")
oRange.setPropertyToDefault ("CharCaseMap")
#End If
End Sub

using other styles everything works OK.

- I imported a bibteX bibliography, and I noticed that the @proceedings entries become "book" in zotero. Is this intentional?

I'm using ubuntu linux 7.04, openoffice 2.2.

Thanks

    I had the same problem (type mismatch error) with the "Nature Journal" when I tried to switch between citation styles. But, after a bit of playing around, I discovered that Nature Journal citations seem to work fine after a bibliography has been created manually with the "Insert Bibliography" button.

    However, for an existing document which already contains zotero references, it does not seem possible to change to "Nature Journal" style unless a bibliography exists. For my article, I had to delete all the references I had already inserted, create a bibliography, switch to "Nature Journal" style, and re-insert the references.

    One small suggestion... the superscripted numbers should be in arabic (ie 1,2,3) and comma separated. This was not automatic on the platform I was working on (Windows XP, zotero version 1.0.1, Word 2002, zotero word plugin 1.0b1). Oh and it would be nice to have version numbers and dates on the Word and Office plugins download pages.

    All in all, I've been very happy with zotero. Three cheers!

    PS I get the same error in Nature Journal style when trying to add a reference in the midst of already existing references.

    Am I the only one having this problem? Did I fail to provide some piece of information?

    Thanks
