IEEE style: how to specify a range of references?

sgsawant
I wanted to enter a range of reference in a paragraph. For example:
"Archimedes principle was discovered by Archimedes [5-8]."
The way it appears now after I insert the references in my document is:
"Archimedes principle was discovered by Archimedes [5] [6] [7] [8]."

Is there a way to configure Zotero to convert "[5] [6] [7] [8]" to "[5-8]" automatically? I am using Zotero Standalone v4.0.23 with MS Word 2010.

    You can't convert the ones you have, no, but you can get [5]-[8] (which is what IEEE requires; [5-8] would be incorrect) by entering citations as multiple items:

    @adamsmith:
    Even though the "Quick Format Citation" fields looks different in Zotero Standalone as compared to the web-browser plugin, it still has the functionality that you mentioned. That worked out pretty well. Thanks!
