Sybille, you were correct, it was the citation style I was using (Chicago without bibliography). User error strikes again! -

New plugins for MS Word and OpenOffice (including NeoOffice) are now available. The new plugins require Zotero 1.0.0rc4 and offer a great deal of new and improved functionality. -

I've got a little trouble with the latest version of the word plugin (1.0b1). I'm using word 2007 and when I click the button "insert bibliography" the plugin puts two "paragraph mark" (^p) after each reference. I can remove every second mark manually but when I click refresh they appear again (obvious).
On the other hand, It will be very good if citations appear with a style so users can customize the appearence changing it with word. -

Hi, I've got a somewhat strange problem using the IEEE citation style and Word2007:
I insert my references into the first page, and they are correctly ordered by first appearance.
However, when I insert an additional reference to the second page, the ones on the first page are renumbered in a strange way, leading to a sequence of appearance of 1-2-7-4-3-5-6 i e. 3 is changed to 7, 5 to 3, 6 to 5 and 7 to 6. This happens both if I reuse an old reference and if I insert a completely new one.
Can anyone tell me why this happens, and what I can do about it? -

Hello,
Is there a plan to integrate the XML tags into the Word .doc, within the field codes?
This is the current system employed by EndNote, and RefMan, and it allows the data to be extracted directly from the Word file, and reduces mark-up costs.
Any information regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated. -

I don't think it makes much sense to embed the data in the field, particularly given how common it is to have multiple citations refer to the same source.
I do think it's sensible to embed data in the file package in OOXML and OpenDocument, however. This is how OOXML defines citation encoding in its spec, and it's how we'll do it in ODF. That gives the benefits you describe (and also the possibility to have standardized encoding that allows users to collaborate on a document using different programs), without the costs.
But there's an even more crucial first step: using more robust global identifiers to identify citation sources.
But this has been discussed before, mostly on the dev list. It seems to me likely to get solved. -

I appreciate your concern with embedding the data within the field codes.
This system relies on the extraction process recognising duplicates, and removing them. Considering the recently introduced 'truncate field code' functions introduced to some commercial applications (to avoid causing instability within the document), we are in need of an alternative method for extraction.
How would you enter data within a Word document? Where would we find it? and How we recognise it? -

The data would get stored in a dedicated file. If you look, for example, at a docx file with citations, there's a file called something like bibliography.xml. This data is hooked up to a field in the main document.
ODF would work similarly, except the data would get encoded in RDF.
In either case, you could extract the data for the citations by simply loading the relevant file, rather than having to hunt through the document looking for fields.
As for editing, I'd expect it'd be similar to what you see now in Zotero and Word/OpenOffice integration.
