Export Zotero citations from OpenOffice to Word

ftr · February 21, 2009

I just discovered that my Zotero citations written in an OpenOffice text are all translated into plain text when exported to MS Word doc or rtf formats. Do I miss something, or is this the state of the art ?

Are you using fields or bookmarks? Check out Dan's comment here: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/5144/ooo-doesnt-recognise-zotero-fields-from-word-doc

Oh, I didn't see that. Thanks.This seems to solve the problem.

Now I tried to change from fields to bookmarks but I get an error message in OpenOffice 3.0.1 under Vista:
Basic Runtime error.
an exception occured.
Type : com.sun.uno.runtimeException
Message:,

Any ideas ?

Sorry, I can't help you there.

If nobody else shows up here, start a new thread with this new topic. Probably in the troubleshooting forum.
