How do I insert and maintain not-citation text in footnotes?
I sometimes have multi-reference footnotes with cross-reference, for example:
Clement of Alexandria, (Stromata, 1.14). Jerome (On Titus, 1.12-14) seems to depend on Clement and to consider the precise attribution unimportant; Socrates (History of the Church, III, 16, “On the Emperor’s Prohibiting Christians Being Instructed in Greek Literature, [etc.],”) may also be dependent on Clement’s claim when he refers to “the oracles of Epimenides.” Jerome D. Quinn (The Letter to Titus: A New Translation and Commentary and An Introduction to Titus, I and II Timothy, The Pastoral Epistles; The Anchor Bible, Volume 35; New York: Doubleday, 1990, 107) acknowledges that Jerome’s attribution to Epimenides was tentative, based on a “report” dicitur, second-hand.
My problem, is that Zotero is not allowing me to insert text between references to specific works. The citation editor accepts text but deletes it as soon as it's closed, and any comments I make within Word aside from the automatic reference that Zotero creates are deleted upon every refresh.
I'm new to Zotero, so I wonder if it is possible to comment on the references within a footnote. Just having a string of references doesn't work for my purposes, because I need to speak about them.
I am using Zotero in Word 2010 as well as with Firefox. Thanks!
