i cant save citations in open office

e_heilbron

hello, i do citations correctly, i even can generate bibliografy in my documents, but i can save it. when i close a .doc file, and i re open it, all my citations are only text, and i have to do it all again

It appears that you are seeing Zotero field codes in your document instead of the formatted reference citations. If so, quickly and easily fixed, see:

When you save a document as .doc from Open Office, you indeed convert all fields to plain text. If you must save as .doc from OpenOffice, use the "Bookmarks" option under "Set Document Preferences", though if at all possible we recommend sticking with Reference Marks and using Ooo's native .odt format.

i acnt find the option bookmarks!

When you click on "Set Document Preferences" what do you see? If Bookmarks is greyed out, you can't use it (that's the case for styles using endnotes or footnotes)

it's part of the Zotero toolbar in Open Office. https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_usage#plugin_toolbar
