No hanging indent on Mac Pages

I previously used word but now have a Mac. When I 'create a bibliography from item', using copy and paste, it is appearing on 'pages' with no indent. Word always kept the indent. I have 100s of references so I don't want to have to find a way to do it manually.

So does anyone know if, or how, it can work properly on Mac Pages?

Thanks
  • This would be a problem with how Pages handles HTML input, not Zotero. I would strongly recommend switching to Word for Mac, which has actual Zotero integration and which I’ve found is much easier to use, more powerful, and more stable.
  • (That said, I assume you can select the whole bibliography and set hanging indents in a single operation in Pages; you wouldn't need to do this manually for every reference).

    Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure if I can select a whole bibliography and indent each one in one operation, I'd have to look into that.
  • If you don't already have a copy of or subscription to Word and you don't want to pay for one, you can also use LibreOffice, a free office suite with Zotero integration:

  • Ah ok thanks, I'll check that out.

    The indent doesn't work in Libre actually either, though you can just tab it across which I can't do in Pages. Seems odd though if its Zotero integrated, unless it's still a Mac issue.
  • Actually I've seen you have to do some extra stuff to get integration.
  • Have to say I don't follow the instructions on how to do it as it says to download java from this page but none are related to Libre:

    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
  • Just download and install the first JDK listed for Mac on that page. The JDK isn’t associated with LibreOffice, but LibreOffice needs it to connect to Zotero on Mac.

    Regarding adding citations and bibliographies in LibreOffice, you should add them using the buttons on the Zotero toolbar in LibreOffice, rather than dragging from Zotero:
    https://www.zotero.org/support/libreoffice_writer_plugin_usage

    This will allow Zotero to automatically update the bibliography as you add or remove citations or change styles.
