Upgrade StorageFrom OO to Word and Back
Dear Zotero Developers:
This discussion works off a few from last year. I have a dissertation that has hundreds of notes in Chicago style (Reference Marks). I have wanted to transition to OO for a long time, and now am trying to do that. But when I open a Word (.doc) file which used Zotero and Chicago style (Reference Marks) in OO, all the dynamic links are broken right away. There is no recovering them. I try to convert to MLA (which allows me to use Bookmarks), but this doesn't get those links back.
I saw that there was an OO compatibility problem, in fact almost this exact problem, a while back -- is this is still the case?
In other words, it seems that there is no real way to keep your dynamic links and use Chicago style (reference marks) when going from a Word doc to an OO doc.
I think this is true, just checking. I would love to move to OO, but if this means that I can't easily go back and forth between the two (many people only use Word, so the translation has to be near perfect), I guess I am stuck paying for Word.
Any thoughts on this>
Thanks,
Daniel

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
We will need to come up with a way of preventing users from accidentally saving footnotes containing bookmarks in doc format, but it may be possible to enable this functionality for OOXML in the near future.
