Suggested Improvement: Add "Table" as an option in "Page" -- in Customizing Cites in Microsoft Word

hargartenp · February 15, 2019

Greetings! I enjoy using Zotero, and I have a suggestion to improve its functionality.

Specifically, please see Customizing Cites in Microsoft Word, located here: https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_usage. Scroll to "Customizing Cites" with subhead "Page and Other Locators." There are many useful options here, as mentioned in the help-file. There is a tab for "Figure" if I want to reference a figure in a citation, which is helpful. However, I sometimes want to reference a "Table" in a citation. There is currently no option to do so. Thinking many papers have tables, as well as figures, would you consider adding "Table" to the Page list?

Thanks!

It would certainly be nice (table, appendix, and equation are the three I miss most often). For now, using the Suffix field will work well.

@bwiernik -- do we have a list of missing locators in
a github issue somewhere? Those are trivial to add in CSL, of course, next time we update item types, and the three you list seem obvious additions to me, though there may be others.

I can post one. Which github repo should I put them in? Schema? Evolution? Zotero-bits?

who knows ;) @Rintze what do you think?

"schema", since it will require a schema change.

Any update on this issue?

No updates on this issue exist at this time. See the above comments for improved functionality in citing "Page and Other Locators". The issue is still active, and these suggestions are still unavailable in the Microsoft Word plug-in at this time. We are waiting for these to be added to the CSL files.
