Upgrade StorageConsidering Zotero - my specifics
Hi, I'm a postgrad in Edinburgh, Scotland. Just started using EndNote a few months ago with middling results. I am wondering about switching to Zotero, but I have questions about compatibility. At my school office computer, I am (just now thanks to the upgrade) on MS Word 2010; on my laptop, I use OpenOffice. Will it be possible to retain my citations, footnotes, bibliography etc. if I'm working on the same document on these two different computers with different systems?
A separate question I've been considering is, if I send the document to someone else (ie my supervisor), do they need Zotero to see the citations?
Apologies if these are basic questions - I'm not terribly up on this stuff.

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.
1. Bookmarks currently don't work for footnote syles (MHRA, Chicago Manual) If you do want a footnote style as the final product, you can still convert the document at any point (first to Fields/Reference Marks, then to the footnoted style), though - you just won't be able to send it back and forth with a footnoted style.
2. Seeing the citations is not going to be a problem, but it could happen that your supervisor would delete the Zotero field codes or break Zotero citations (the latter especially when/since you're using bookmarks). So if you need to continue working with documents you get back from your supervisor you may want to test that first.
