Long Footnotes "Buried" in OpenOffice Writer Plugin Note Editor
When I have a long footnote, the text ends up buried so that I cannot scroll down to view/proof/edit the content. I have attempted to create a pic to show what I mean: http://mbruffey.home.comcast.net/~mbruffey//pics/editor_crop.pdf . Thx, Mark
Clearly, the footnote view/editor is crippled. If you have a lengthy note, customary in some disciplines, a good portion of it can become buried in the edit/view window. Even if you do not need to edit the note in the window, you may want to proof what you have added via the prefix/suffix fields (to avoid, for instance, a double-period).
Here is the workaround--very simple and discovered already by others no doubt. Simply goto the suffix field for the last source you are citing and type or paste into it a bunch of garbage. This will cause the software to recalc the window/scrollbar positions with the result that you can actually see your entire note and some of the garbage while the rest of the garbage is buried in crippled-zotero-plugin-never-never-land. When satisfied with the note, delete the garbage from the suffix field. Tada!
