Format for embedding citations in word processors
Hi,
I've just started exploring Zotero in detail. It is very important for the project I work on that we are able to exchange documents between OpenOffice.org and Word. We would be able to contribute to OOo and Word development if needed.
My initial experiments indicate that citations embedded in Word using Fields are lost when the .doc file is opened in OOo. So, can we look at using a mechanism for carrying citation information that will be preserved. One approach would be to use bookmarks rather than fields. I have also considered looking for hyperlinks, matching those against URLs in Zotero and inserting appropriate citations.
What's the current thinking on this issue within the Zotero team?

I have another question about the code: it doesn't seem to have a license on it that I could see in the macro editor. Have I overlooked something? Is it possible to get a version under an open source license so we can attempt to contribute?
