Chicago style FOOTNOTES?
Hi,
I am wondering if anyone knows how to correct this problem... My citations are generally okay for first-time citations of a source. But the way I want my footnotes to look when something is cited a SECOND time, is "author, short name of article, page#". But zotero always cites this as IBID, no matter which of the Chicago styles I choose. IBID makes no sense for footnotes that are spread out over a number of pages...when Ibid appears as the first note on a page, it begs the question "Ibid? to what reference?"
I tried to install the "no ibid" version of chicago style, but it is not working for me- perhaps it is beta for higher operating system than 10.4? [mac]
thanks for any help.

I'm not using the beta version, because I need the word plugins... but otherwise it's the newest version. Is this the problem--is it intended only for the "beta" version? If so, I missed that...
I am going to try to install the "w/o ibid" style again. The problem I've been having with it is that there is no difference in the way the notes look after applying the style. I've refreshed zotero, tested newly inserted notes, and even tried re-inserting current notes defaulting to ibid.
thanks
