Inserting a citation into a table in JAMA style

eamoone · April 18, 2012

Hello, I am helping someone who is using Word 2008, with the Zotero for firefox 3.0.3 and the word plugin 3.5.3. She is trying to insert a citation in JAMA style into a table cell in her paper. When she inserts a citation using the Zotero toolbar, a bright yellow "AM" appears before the number (of the citation). I have searched the forums but not seen this specific problem. Can someone tell us how to fix it?
Thanks!

please help ...

is there any other way around ?

what do you mean by "will not work" specifically? What happens. I tried this with multiple citation and it works for me.
Under "Set Document Preferences" are you using Reference Marks or Fields?

ah haa ...

finally found the problems.
if i use "store reference in documents" will not work properly.
so, if uncheck this option, will work (reference marks)

this case, i reviewed papers, make document with 5 columns. each paper inserted in each row.
each paper i marked it by inserting citation.

opps ...
it does work when I tried many citation in many cells without any other text ..

when I filled the cells with anything, long typed text ...
the inserting citation will not work anymore.

please help

you do need to tell us what "not work" means. What exactly happens?
But also - is there no way around this? Citations in tables didn't use to work at all and it's certainly possible that LO can't handle overly long reference marks in tables.
