New user, trouble-shooting for Mac and in-text citation

baudant · August 23, 2010

Hello,
I'm finally taking a step to use this fantastic tool. A few questions:
1. The Zotero icon shows up on my Mac (OSX 10.5.8) toolbar, but not the six individual icons. I've followed the steps online over and again but Zotero plug ins are not showing up in my Mac Tools > Templates and Add-Ins box.
2. How can I use Zotero to do in-text citations (Author, Date) and not footnotes or endnotes?

Thanks! BA

1. With office 2008 for Mac you will find the functions in the scripts menu not the toolbar icons. See http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/no_toolbar_in_word_2008_plugin

2. in-text vs. footnotes is controlled by the bibliographic style. For an example compare the in-text and footnote versions of the Chicago Manual of Style.
