Upgrade Storagesupra note ____
Why is it that sometimes when using the Zotero plug in in MS word, it will put "supra note ____" instead of supplying the appropriate supra note number? Is there a fix for this?
This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
More generally, if you're using Zotero for law, you should have a look at this:

it is my understanding that the Wisconsin Court style is very similar to bluebook.
The numbering has worked in the past for him, but lately is omitting the supra note number. Any idea what would cause that to happen?
If he changed or added a citation directly in MS Word (without using the Zotero editor in MS Word), would that "confuse" the style?
Anything else I'm not thinking of?
"supra note ____" is explicitly coded in some of the other Bluebook styles on the repository, but the 19th edition style has no way to create those underscores - they are nowhere in the code.
If Zotero produced an error (which is unlikely at that place) you'd see nothing or some garbled characters or so, but definitely not those underscores. no. Also see above - that wouldn't be how a "confused" Zotero reacts.
The one thing I can imagine producing this in the 19th edition style is that if the author manually edited a Zotero citation in Word (or in the Show Editor in the classic citation dialog) while using another bluebook style and then switched to the 19th edition style, Zotero wouldn't update that citation. In that case, delete and re-insert it.
First, thanks so much for all your work on this - i just started using zotero citation and it's very helpful.
I also had the problem noted above, where I get the "supra note __" but without the x-ref footnote number. I looked for Bluebook 19th, as you advised, but could not find it.
I could only find 1) "Bluebook" and 2) "Bluebook (2)". the latter doesn't even give you the "supra" so I have been using the former. Is this supposed to be the 19th edition?
many thanks
