Problem importing into Word

timh
I am trying to import the URL information that I have collected for a paper. I am using Word 2007 and when I try to bring the URL info into the document using the "insert citation" button or the Insert Bibliography button, I only get the title information. None of the URL info even shows up when I press the "Show editor" button I only get the title infomation

    What information is shown in your citation primarily depends on the style you have selected. Some styles will display URL information, while others will not. You can switch the current style in Word with the Set Doc Prefs-button, and, if none of the styles give the aimed-for result, you can browse the style repository for alternative styles at http://www.zotero.org/styles (note that it currently not very straight-forward to write or modify styles).

    Thanks for getting back to me and I must admit that I am a neophyte to this so please bear with me while I try to figure out if this problem is fixable. I was under the assumption that once I downloaded the zotero plugin for Word that I could import the information in my zotero bibliography into a Word document. When I try this what happens is that the information shows up in the title section like it should but when I press the "show Editor" button, I expected to see the URL info that is associated with the title. All I keep getting is the title information and that is all that comes across. I have tried to change the style from APA to MLA but neither give the desired results. What do you think I am doing wrong? I looked at the styles site that you suggested but it is beyond my limited computer knowledge.

    Hold on. I think I may have found a style the brings the whole bibliography over ( Chicago Manual of style with full Bibliography)
