Zotero 3.0.3, Lion (Mac OS X 10.7.3), Openoffice 3.3.0, Firefox 10.0.1 Inter-Compatibility

Hi y'all,

Worked with Zotero (don't know what update) on a Mac running Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6.#) with Word 2008, but now am wanting to transfer my library to another Mac with Openoffice 3.3.0, running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3, and Firefox 10.0.1 where I am running Zotero 3.0.3

Thank you for any assistance, cheers!

    Generally you can just transfer your library
    http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/transferring_a_library
    or use sync. You should use bookmarks in all your documents -

    to assure compatibility between Word and LO.

    It is strongly recommended to use Libre Office and not Open Office for better compatibility - Open Office is effectively dead and has been replaced by LO. You should upgrade Firefox to 10.0.2 or 11

    Also, one other quick question is how to actually display the Zotero toolbar in LibreOffice because on Word 2008 for Mac, there was a separate dropdown menu to choose from to display the Zotero integration options but I'm looking in LibreOffice at: View > Toolbars > (then I thought there'd be an option like "Zotero" or something.

    How do I set this up? Thank you adamsmith for all your help and prompt responses, it really makes me enjoy using Zotero especially since I know y'all are so good at answering these forums.

    Cheers.

    when you install the LO plugin, you should see the plugin pictured here:

    are you not seeing that?
