Is there a process to merge multiple citations when citing multiple authors?

but you can't merge adjacent citations in a document if that's what you mean, no.
a) if you add citations to an existing set of 2 or more citations in text, the numeric references will not be updated...so that if you initially had 1-3 listed as citations, and add two more references, it will appear as "1-34,5" in the text, and there is no way to get this to update to 1-5 short of deleting all citations at that spot, then adding all 5 at once, a time consuming process.
b) when adding citations using the quick dialog, if the Zotero add citation quick search result shows three references, and you want all three, you must choose each one of the three sequentially...you can't use Ctrl-Select or Ctrl-A to bring each item into the quick dialog box.
Note: I'm using the latest version of Firefox, with the latest version of the Zotero plugin for Word 2010. Thank you in advance for any help in using Zotero.
b) correct.
