ODF Scan not applying citation style properly
Hi,
I apologize if this has been discussed before - I was unable to find something directly on point - but I'm having trouble with Zotero not properly applying my citation style when I do an ODF scan.
The style I use is a self-modified OSCOLA version (I used that handy-dandy visual editor that's linked somewhere on the page here.), and when I copy the citation directly in that format, then it comes out fine. But when I use a scannable cite option, it strips the darn thing of all the relevant stuff, like locator, prefix etc. Mind you I do put that stuff in by hand...Am I doing that wrong?
EDIT: I just tested the standard OSCOLA format. Also doesn't apply the format properly.
Thanks in advance!!!

The most common error is that people don't set a citation style in LibreOffice after scanning, so make sure you have your OSCOLA style selected under Document Settings in the Zotero add-on.
That did it! I didn't realize that I had to set the citation style again - I would open the unscanned version and set the style, then re-save, THEN scan. Didn't think to reset the darn thing.
THANK YOU so much! I spent the whole day yesterday messing around and testing in Word on my work PC and everything... *facepalm* :)
