Chicago (full note), footnotes, roman numeral pagination?

megandriscoll

I'm using Zotero v.4.0.8 with Word, and Chicago full note style for my footnotes.

One book section that I'm quoting from (and thus need a footnote with page numbers) is a translator's introduction, and it is paginated with roman numerals. When I try to enter the page numbers in the usual way in the Zotero insert citation pane (by typing p.N), Zotero ignores the numerals and won't insert the reference until I delete them (I tried just entering viii without p. as well, no dice).

For now I'm manually entering the roman numeral page numbers, but that's not ideal since manual changes to citations can tend to get wiped out when I refresh my citations. Any suggestions?

Thank you!

this just doesn't work for the shortcut version via p. - you can enter roman numeral page numbers in the page field in plugin:

Ah ha, thank you! I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't even realize that plugin existed - it's working now.

This leads me to a second question: once I've inserted a footnote, is it possible to edit that footnote (right-click leads me to nothing obvious), or do I need to just keep deleting and re-adding?

Thanks again,
megan

put your cursor in the footnote, click "Edit Citation" (second from the left http://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_usage#plugin_toolbar )in the Zotero Word Plugin
