Word Font Issues When Pasting Zotero Bibliography

vincedmet · January 31, 2018

I have set my MSWord default font settings for all my documents to Calibri, 11pt.

However, when I copy Zotero references to a Word document by using the Copy Bibliography function in the Standalone Edit menu, the references keep getting pasted in Times New Roman font. Is there something I need to change in Zotero for the bibliography to paste in my Word default font? I know I can always change the font in the Word document after pasting, but it would be great to save this step.

Curiously, when I paste a footnote or endnote using the Copy Citation function in the Standalone Edit menu, the integrity of my Word font choice/default is maintained.

Zotero pastes references into the document using the Bibliography style in Word. Check to be sure that that style doesn’t have Times set as the default.

It doesn't for me. I have all styles I'm aware of, including Bibliography (which is hard to find in the first place), set to Garamond and Zotero pastes into Word with Times New Roman consistently.

I know that Zotero doesn't specify a font in the HTML for the clipboard (e.g. in Google Docs it's just Arial, i.e. the default), but is there something that Word reads as TNR?

As a workaround, right-click --> Merge Formatting keeps the original font (but doesn't keep indenting).
