Upgrade StorageIrregular numbering in OpenOffice bibliography (IEEE format)
Hi, this is a bug report. Apologies if this has already been reported, I cannot find mention of it.
I'm typing up a long document (30 pages) and while editing (ie cutting, pasting, deleting and adding citations), the numbering in the bibliography seems to have gone haywire all of a sudden. It is numbered from 1 to 61 fine, and from 64 to 96 fine, however 62 and 63 have been replaced by 1:
[61] R.J. Ogg, J.W. Langston ...
[1] E.M. Haacke, N.Y. Cheng, ...
[1] D. Raj, D.P. Paley, A.W. ...
[64] Y. Wang, Y. Yu, D. Li, ...
(I've chopped off the long ends of the citation to make it easier to see).
The citations within the document are fine (ie appear as [62] and [63]).
Closing and re-opening OpenOffice, and deleting the bibliography and re-adding it did not fix the problem. However removing all citations to number 62, then manually deleting it from the bibliography (no amount of refreshing would automatically delete it) then re-inserting the citations seems to have worked.
I'm using the OpenOffice plugin with the IEEE format. I did at some stage click the edit bibliography and have a squizz at number 62, however I didn't make any changes. For what it's worth, a random blank line appears under number 62 (another bug?) which I *may* have manually deleted in a frustrated attempt to figure out where it (the blank line) came from. Nevertheless, I assumed deleting the entire bibliography and re-adding it would cure any problems caused by my playing around.

In case anyone has a similar problem and needs a quick fix ...
NOTE: this only helps if you DON'T need a customised bibliography entry
Zotero seems to derive the customised entries (which contain the incorrect entry numbers) from the section name, at least in OpenOffice this is the case. Rename the bibliography text section to ZOTERO_BIBL and this should fix it.
To edit the text section name:
Open up the navigator (hit F5)
Under "Sections" right-click the ZOTERO_BIBL... one and select Rename
Hope this helps
using latest openoffice + zotero plugin.
after editing the bibliography by clicking on "edit bibliography" and adding some text to a citation, the citations I edited is re-numbered to "1", although the numbering of the other citations remains unaffected,
e.g., editing citation number six would result in: 1 2 3 4 5 1 7 8 9 ...
I tried to rename ZOTERO_BIBL... to ZOTERO_BIBL - no go.
any ideas?!?
muchos gracias!!!

I'm not in tears, but to be honest I'm not in the mood of fixing beta software at this point in time.
when "edit bibliography" is courageously pressed, in the edit thingy not only add or change text, but IMPORTANTLY also change the starting digit / number _manually_ and then everything should be fine - so I hope.
the numbers in superscript in the text should remain intact independent of this.
would be great to hear some encouragement or ideas from you out there...
