Beginner (oder advanced?) Questions for daily working with Zotero
Hi there,
I got (for now) two questions to Zotero which is undoubtely an awesome tool.
System: Win8, Office (Word) 2013, Zotero 5.0.23
Questions:
(1) In order to be able to switch your Zotero-Quotes, you do it from the beginning at best exclusively with the button of the Word-Plugin INSTEAD of using Ctrl+Alt+F (common footnote).
BUT: Is there as well any abbreviated instruction to execute the Zotero-footnote/reference? That would make my day much easier.
FURTHER: Is there any trick to add DIRECTLY to that pasted quote a Page number for that quote?
Otherwise I need nonetheless to switch manually to the footer :-( Can I make my life here easier as well?
(2) Notes of your added References
I've used the function to add some notes to the references I added to Zotero, esp. regarding articles from websites. Mostly I copied+pasted some full quotes of the websites to the notes.
But when I started to work daily and tried to fill in the references, I noticed that the content of the notes aren't obviously covered by the Zotero-Pop-Up Window, which appears if you want to enter a reference: Here you can just search for the Titles of the added references OR the Name(s) of the Author(s) of it.
Well, that's just what making my days cloudy :)
Any ideas how to improve that?
Thank you in advance for any help!

and you can add page numbers by adding pages after the citation following commas.
2) Correct, you can't really search by notes in the word add-on (though you can in the classic view)
regarding 1): The issue with the shortcut worked. Awesome.
Just the issue with the "add page numbers by adding pages after the citation following commas." doesn't work in my Version!?
But I found out, that if I've choosen the citation and CLICK on it, I can add the page numbers. That works. Just... I need nonetheless to click on it :-7
Is there as well any trick to do that without removing the fingers from the keyboard? :-]
regarding 2): alright, bad luck :-7
Thank you in advance for any help!
