Upgrade StorageLeftovers after APA-Nature style conversion (leading spaces & superscript prefixes)
Hello,
I have a manuscript in which I used Zotero to insert references, APA style. I now have to format my refs in Nature style, and after changing the citation style in the Document Preferences menu of Zotero's Word addon, a few problems are left for which there seems to be no automatic solution - unless some can please please suggest one:
1) I see in other Nature papers that, where prefixes and suffixes are used next to a citation - such as "for examples, see e.g. refs 1 and 2" - the reference number(s) are no longer written as a superscript but on the same line as the prefix. However, where I have Prefixes/Suffixes defined for a citation, what I get instead is that they too are formatted in superscript by Zotero!
2) After the conversion, each superscript number (ref) is now prefixed by a space; these are spaces that I inserted manually, to confirm with APA, e.g. "blabla (REF)", whereas now they are useless: "blabla ^REF". Any way to customise the Nature style so that it deletes the initial blank, while leaving it there in the APA style?
Thanks in advance for any help!

We could code the APA style to include the space so you don't to it manually, but I don't think there's any reasonable way of doing away with this.
For 2), though, it should be quite simple to fix this using a search&replace.
