Footnote appears in text and abbreviated

JohnD101

I am using Word, not google docs. I have been attempting to insert footnotes by placing the cursor where I want the number (after e in the example below), clicking "Zotero" in the toolbar, then "Add citation" then "classic view." This brings up my library. In the example below I selected a text by Wegner, page 9. The problem is, although I have full details of the text in the library, only an abbreviated version appears. Worse still, it appears in brackets in the body of the text, without a number. There is no footnote at all. So this is the sort of thing I end up with:

Footnote please(Wegner 2004, 9)

Any suggestions?

You will need to actually select a footnote style for that. Currently you have an author-date style selected, hence the brackets.

In Word, in the Zotero ribbon under "Document Preferences". Chicago note will be such a note style for example.

Thanks. I'd previously selected Turabian 9th Ed, as instructed by my school, and there is only the author-date option listed. Now that I understand what "author-date" was alluding to, i.e. it means you don't get footnotes, I've selected Chicago 17 (apparently it's the same as Turabian) and it works.
