Word Add-On: Organization

Occasion: When I add a citation into a Word document.

Problem: I want to permanently set the 'add citation' interface to keep the column categories I select. I've already entered footnotes in my book chapter, and came into using Zotero after I'd already begun. Because of that, I've labeled my citations using the "Extra" column to indicate which footnotes the citations belong to. Now that I'm going back and using Zotero citations instead (as there is no option to edit previously created footnotes), I need to organize my citations by the "Extra" column. However each time I add a new citation from Zotero through the Word add-on interface, the columns reset and I have to add the "Extra" category again.

If there is an easier way to do this or I can clarify anything, I shall be excited to hear it and happy to do so.

Side Problem: Since i already have footnotes in the document, when I try to add Zotero footnotes, they become roman numeralized. That isn't going to work for me. Is there an easy way to change all the previous notes to roman numerals and make sure all the new ones are in arabic numbers?

Thank you so much for your time and attention.
  • Don't have anything on the main issue, but Zotero just inserts standard Word footnotes with the default setting. All changes to the footnotes format -- both for new and for old ones -- would have to be in Word. Where exactly depends on your Word version and is easily google-able with something like
    [your Word version] change footnotes roman numbers
