Upgrade Storage"ibid." function in large openoffice document doesn't work
I am using zotero 3.0.3 in firefox with the openoffice writer plugin. I am working in a 250 + page document with many footnotes, using Chicago Manual of Style (full note). This document was merged from several shorter chapters.
The Problem: when I cite a reference successively, zotero does not consistently use ibid. In some places it works, in others it doesn't.
Example:
5 David Harvey, The Condition of Postmodernity: An Enquiry into the Origins of Cultural Change (Oxford; Cambridge, Mass.: Blackwell, 1989), 245.
6 David Harvey, The Condition of Postmodernity, 250. [instead of Ibid., 250.]
(I copied/pasted a short selection of my document into a new document. After deleting and re-entering the first citation, the subsequent citations were correctly formatted as "Ibid...")
I appreciate any light you can shed on this problem. I searched the boards and didn't find the answer. Thanks.

fbennettThe most likely cause is that footnote numbers are being reset to 1 at the start of each chapter, as we discovered in this thread</a?.

fbennettI think it should be possible to control for this, actually, since the conditions that trigger the failure are clear. I will try to take a look at it in the next week or so.

jsflipperfbennett, you are correct. I have the footnote numeration restarting at the beginning of each chapter. I will check out the thread.

fbennettI've now fixed this in the processor (version 1.0.326). When the revisions are picked up by Zotero, resetting the note numbers at each chapter boundary will no longer break back-referencing.

jsflipperThank you for your help on this!
