How do I put numbered references in text??

Chief900
Hi Everyone,

You guessed it, new guy here. So I am pulling my hair out at the moment. Just spent the morning downloading Zotero and so far so good. I like it. I just have one thing that I cant work out.

Im trying to put numbered references in my text. So a number in square brackets that refers to a reference in the bibliography. But I just cant work it out? can anyone point me in the right direction? I would be extremely grateful.

Many thanks

Chief

    That's easy. Use a style that produces numbered references, like the Nature style.

    If you want more help, tell us more about what exactly you are trying to accomplish. What word processor are you using? What style have you selected currently? See http://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_integration for help.

    Oh yeah, great thanks.

    I just couldn't figure it out... Is there also a way to change the format of the bibliography? Like changing whether family name or initially come first etc?

    I am using a mac with word 2011. I selected IEE style now.

    Sorry for the foolish novice like questions :-(

    So far I really like this Zotero, doing nearly all the things I want, and im sure it will do all the others once i completely get to grips with it.

    Cheers

    how the bibliography looks depends on the style you use - you can't modify styles very easily*, but there are hundreds to choose from:
