This shortcoming in the plug-in's Citation dialog is still with us, and it is a problem with far fewer than 10 references. It is often necessary to write explanatory text in a note, which is why the Editor is such a great idea. All it needs is a simple elevator on the right side, so we can scroll down.

A temporary work around is to copy and paste the note from an outside editor (like Word), but that kind of defeats the purpose.

Thank you!

I'm using 3.0--am I posting in the right place? Anyway, I think we're talking about the same thing, namely the Add/Edit Citation dialog in Word. I just tried using the right arrow to go off the edge, and I see there is now an elevator, but it still doesn't work correctly. It's cutting off the bottom, and won't scroll enough to make it visible. If the developers are testing it with 1 or 2 references and only a short prefix like "see e.g." it might not be apparent. If you consult a good history monograph, you will see the kind of footnotes we have to write.

So, while the caveat is duly noted, it isn't really the issue. Word has a nasty habit of reformatting footnotes at random. This is really what drew me to Endnote and Zotero in the first place, before I knew what else they could do. Thanks to the Editor, Zotero is particularly excellent at it. On a long project, it is very nice to have the note as polished as possible in Zotero's native format, and then fix the details of aesthetics only once, at the end, when you print it off for submission. The Editor is very useful for setting up the basic structure and appearance of the note while you're still building it, to make sure you have the proper punctuation and spacing in place. Constantly having to close and reopen the dialog makes it much less convenient, but you can't currently see the whole thing inside the dialog.
