Google docs - convert scannable cites to linked citations?

sdspieg

We used to use the Scannable cite/LibreOffice workaround to finalize any documents which we had created collaboratively - initially - in GDocs in - finally - MS Word via LO. But there are so many extensions available for GDocs now that most of the things we could previously only do in Word can now alse be done in Google Docs. But we're now stuck with a few Google Docs that have loads of scannable cites. So here's my question: is it possible to convert those scannable cites in GDoc into actual linked Zotero in-text citations that will resolve in our desired style when we run 'Add bibliography'?

Sure -- download them as .odt, run ODF Scan, open in LibreOffice, select a citation style and then follow the instructions to transfer to GDocs here: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/moving_documents_between_word_processors#libreoffice_to_google_docs

Thatnks Sebastian. That would take just as much time.. I thought maybe there was a way within GDocs, but if not, we'll do it our old way.
