Create a new MSWord document

Riccardo Cohen

Hello
I understand that to add MSWord documents in Zotero library, I just drag/drop it into the desired collection. (I use Zotero beta standalone)

Now if I want to create a new MSWord document, I can of course create an empty document in a temporary folder, copy it into Zotero, delete the temporary document, and finally open it in Zotero. waw !

But usually people just do "file/new" and save it somewhere. Or they go in the folder and right click to "new Word document".

Is there any simple solution for that ?

Thanks

no simple solution no. (this is not a common usage case, either - I don't think it's super common to store word docs in Zotero).

See ZotFile: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/zotfile/ and http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/5301/

Then you can create the new document in ZotFile's inbound folder, then right-click on the destination item in Zotero and use ZotFile to move that file (the most recent one in the incoming directory; usually Firefox's download directory) into your library. Should save a step, and everyone should have ZotFile installed anyway-- it's remarkably convenient.
