Turabian, "Ibid", not Limited to One Page

Turabian Style (8th ed) allows the use of "Ibid" but limits its use to footnotes on the same page (para 16.4.2). Some schools permit use of "Ibid" while others actually require it. The default Zotero style "Turabian 8th edition (full note)" defaults to using "Ibid" but does not follow the specified restriction to footnotes on the same page.

For now, I have gained minimal editing experience by removing the automatic use of "Ibid" in "Turabian 8th edition (full note)" by using instructions posted by Adam Smith in a different thread (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/269370#Comment_269370) and by using the Zotero "Step-by-Step Guide" (https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step) and using Notepad++ (link at "Step-by-Step Guide"). This has stopped automatic use of "Ibid" completely.

I wonder if there is a way to change the default style so it limits the automatic "Ibid" to notes on the same page?

I am using Zotero in Firefox and the Word add-in.
  • no, there's no way for the Zotero Word integration to even be aware of whether two consecutive citations are on the same page or not, sorry.
