Moving between citations

Margot Schwass
Hi - I'm in the final stages of writing my PhD thesis and closely reviewing the chapters I've written. As I review a document on-screen, is there a quick way of moving from one parenthetical/inline citation to the next (I'm using MLA style)? At the moment I am relying on visually scanning each page and hoping to spot all the citations, which is time-consuming and likely to lead to errors. Thank you.

    Not easily, no, but you do know that you can highlight all citations in Grey in Word (and LibreOffice). In Word there's an option that's called something ligh "Highlight Fields" which defaults to "only when selected". You can set it to always. (the labels are off the top of my head, so may not be quite right)

    In Word 2013,

    You can highlight fields by:
    File > Options > Advanced > Show Document Content > select Always for 'Field shading'

    You can also browse fields by:
    Hit F5 to bring up the 'Find and Replace' menu. In the "Go To' tab, select 'Field' and browse using 'Previous' and 'Next' buttons. make sure the field name drop down menu is set to "Any field". There might be a Zotero specific option in that menu, just that I don't know which.

    Thanks for the advice - I find 'always' highlighting the citations in Word is all I need.
