Export list of titles and notes
Is there any way to get a list in Word format of just the titles of my items along with their notes? It can include authors, journal titles and dates if they don't take up too much space. The forum discussions I can find on this are minimum four years old. Here is what I've tried and doesn't work:
1) Annotated bibliography ("Create bibliography from items")- not possible because it can only use the "Extra" field which is part of the bilbilographic data; Zotero has no way to insert "Notes" into bibiographies
2) "Generate Report from Items" - not usable because single items often take up nearly an entire page because (1) there's so much white space between fields, as much as half an inch; (2) authors are all one per line and articles can have ten or twenty authors. I need to have about 10 to 20 citations per page, not one or two or three.
3) Zotero Report Customizer at Github - doesn't solve the problem because (1) it doesn't allow you to omit the authors (2) still has too much empty space between fields; (3) it's in html, not Word so I can't edit it
5) Zotero Report Customizer at http://jasonpriem.org/projects/report_cleaner.php - broken; says my html isn't from a Zotero report although it is
