Changing citation style in a document (using OO plugin) causes error

charlener · December 28, 2008

So, not sure what to do about this - but I was using Chicago formatting and now, based on what I want to do next, need to instead use Harvard-style formatting. When I change the document settings to this format though, after a few seconds the Open Office My Macros & Dialogs.Zotero pops up with the following error:

"BASIC runtime error. An exception occurred Type: com.sun.star.uno.RuntimeException Message: this object is invalid"

on line 802 (which is oRange.text.insertTextContent(oRange, oField, true))

Is it not possible to switch styles after the fact? Any ideas?

Thanks,
Charlene

You should be able to switch citation styles after the fact. Which version of the plugin and which version of Zotero are you using.

I'm not 100% sure this is right, but I remember having a similar problem and simply fixing it rebooting - you've probably tried that but just in case...

Mmm, rebooting hasn't fixed it. I'm using zotero 1.0.9, plugin version 1.0b4 and OpenOffice 3.
