I have looked in the code of CSL template and there is no way to draw "p." for page locator. You can delete your style from Zotero and add them to Zotero again from repository (https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=unifi).

If the word add-on is working for you at all, you're not on Firefox 64bit.

I can't replicate this either (and LiborA is correct, there never should be a "p." in front of the page number for this style given the code), but I'm wondering if it has something to do with the space -- there is some new code for handling locator labels (that's the p.) in the citation processor and it might be triggering this somehow, though I'm not sure how.
(Generally, using that space wasn't a great idea. We wouldn't expect a space in a page number and it may break things when switching to other styles. Would have been a very easy fix in the style itself).

First -- you're positive you're using that style, correct?
Then, what Word version? Are you using an English language version of Zotero? And this is a plain-old space, right? You're not doing any fancy non-breaking space or the like?

@fbennett -- any theory of what might be going on specifically?

I'd hold off on LiborA's suggestion to try on different software for now and do some general troubleshooting along the lines of what I suggest.

Thanks for your help, both of you.

adamsmith, I'm definitely using the Unified stylesheet for linguistics journals. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it a few times. I'm using Word 2010. And yes, ordinary spaces, nothing fancy.

I realise it would have been better to address the lack of space in the style, but once I'd got into the habit, I stopped thinking about it. Ah well.

LiborA, thanks very much for the adapted style. I'll give it a go.

Thanks

Tim

generally yes -- but where are you seeing the examples? I'm not seeing them in the stylesheet proper.

I've tried the style LiborA kindly adapted for me and it seems to work -- on new citations.

The space still has its effect on all the old citations, of course, adding the "p.". So, if there isn't an obvious solution for the underlying problem, then it looks like I'll have to go through all the many citations and remove the space from the box in Add/Edit Citation. That's the price I'll have to pay, I suppose. We live and learn.

Many thanks for the help.

Tim

PS A space after the colon is pretty standard in linguistics these days, as far as I'm aware.

Try to change style in your document to another one and then back to Unified style (in Word, not in Zotero)

(@adamsmith - I agree but for this is the best way to have word document and .csl file with style from Tim)

OK, I can now replicate the issue, which is helpful.
Summary for fbennett:
- the issue seems to occur for styles which test for locator type (and then don't add a label for pages but do for all others)
- where the locator is " 33" instead of "33", the style then inserts a locator label as described above, i.e. (Algeo 1992:p.66) in the unified stylesheet and (Algeo 1992, p. 66) in Chicago author-date.

I recall you playing with the locator recognition, but even if this is non-standard data entry, this doesn't seem desirable.

1. with space, but surpressing duplicate spaces if possible.
2. that's a hard one, what do you think? I'm tending towards yes.

Another question is whether this can be handled by just stripping off the leading space (ignoring it), and adding the space through the style. It seems not a good practice to be coding style-specific visual elements in metadata input.

(I realize that the processor retains spaces on cite affixes, and that I've argued elsewhere to retain that behaviour -- but of course, "That's different.")

I'm OK stripping the space, yes. I can't see when that wouldn't be desirable.

you went with stripping the space?
