number instead of "i" in endnotes

mazanli
hey, I'm writing on my bachelor. I use zotero as "chicago manual of style" endnote style.
so al my sources get collect in a seperate sheet. but instead of numbers 1,2,3... there is a "i" and so it counts like i,ii,iii,iv,v,...... is it possible to change that?
  • adamsmith
    That's a setting in your word processor, not zotero. Should be easy to change there

    im using openoffice. and it seems like, zotero is writing a command and openoffice is just reflecting the result. This is why, I think, that has nothing to do with the processor.
    anyways thx for reply.

    It's an open office setting, really. Try inserting a footnote on the same document and you'll see.
  • mazanli
    ok, when I'm insert the footnote manually - you're right.
    i can change it from "i" to numbers and so on...but thats a lot of work
    this is why I use zotero to insert the source of the information completely automatically as endnote in a extra sheet.
    when I set zotero to insert the source as footprint, it counts automatically without any problems.
    if there is really a way over setting the processor, then please describe the actions to do.

    thank you

    This is done through the style setting in OOo/LibreOffice. Zotero tells the word processor to insert a note. Zotero informs the note content. It does not control the number type. The word processor controls the appearance of the numbers. Use the style dropdown, at the bottom of the list should be "more" click that and find the appropriate style, edit it to your desired format. This can be document-specific or set so that it will be the standard for all of your documents.

    While you are editing styles, you may want to make other changes to your standard font size and face. Style settings are powerful.

    sorry, I was traveling. You can set the characters used for Footnotes/Endnotes under
    Tools ---> Footnotes/Endnotes in LibreOffice/OpenOffice
