Yosemite, Word and Libreoffice

paulhamel6318@gmail. · October 28, 2014

Encountered a problem with both Word 2008 and LibreOffice under Yosemite on a MacBook Pro. For both programs, the icons and menus were fine. However, for the first instance of adding a new citation, the page flipped over to FireFox and that was all. Usually it would prompt a "style" then the citations. However, for both programs, it ended by merely going to FireFox where it stopped. The plugin for both programs were also reinstalled - same problem.

Any ideas here?

Thanks, Paul

Additional note. I went to a document with Zotero citations already added. When i tried to add an additional one, it stopped again after flipping over to FireFox. Same issue when I tried to "Edie a citation".

After I updated OS X to Yosemite I began to have problems with almost all program-opened dialog boxes opening behind a related window. I use 2 monitors so I get around the problem by moving the window to my other monitor. I haven't tried minimizing the obscuring window; but you might try that to see if the dialog box (to select the style) is hidden there or if it, in fact, never opened.

problem seems to have been fixed. After reinstalling the Add-ons and then restarting the computer, Zotero is now working for both Word 2008 and LibreOffice.

Thanks, Paul.

I work with Yosemite, libreoffice (4.2) et firefox (33.0.2)
After upgrade Yosemite, I can't insert reference in text.
LibreOffice message ask Java SE 6, and Yosemite ask JRE 8.25 for other applications.
What can I do ?

it works...
I've installed "JavaForOSX2014-00" (Java SE 6) with JRE 8.25... and I restarted my computer.

I've been experiencing similar issues and I confirm that solution find by Gabriel is the good one.

Just to resume my experience, I also done what Yosemite asked me to do, so I installed the last version of Java Environment (JRE 8.25) from the official java website. I receipt a lot of error messages until today. There is another version of Java (2014-01) available in the apple website, here : http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572. After you install this version, no more problem to add a citation.
