Zotero beta now won't add page numbers in Word
I just downloaded the beta Zotero to get the Safari connector working, and all that has been solved, but now when I'm working with the Word (Mac 2011) add-on, it doesn't recognize or add page numbers anymore. Can someone help?
(If you are trying to add complex page numbers including a comma, then you can do that by clicking on the item to open the detailed pop up then typing whatever you want in the page field. But the main citation bar should allow you to add just simple numbers/ranges.)
You can still add a page number either by clicking on the blue bubble and entering a page number in the popup. You can also just type the page number before you make a selection from the drop-down, either after a space or after a colon (or various other things, I think). E.g., type "smith 2013" and then make a selection from the search results and it will turn into a "Smith, p. 123" bubble.
But it does look like the fix for adding a page number after making a selection broke the ability to add a page number before making a selection. I've created an issue to fix that for 5.0.82.
1) It's now possible to type page numbers with or without "p" before or after making a selection.
2) For the first citation, you can search by number alone. After making a selection, if you want to search for an additional citation by number, you just have to press the spacebar first, which will lock the previously entered selection and prevent a number alone from turning into a page number. Clicking on a bubble and entering a page number in the popup also locks the citation.
3) If you add an additional citation in the same dialog and it's sorted earlier in the list, typing a page number will now properly apply to that citation rather than to the right-most citation.
4) You can move between citations with the left/right arrow keys and use "p123" (the "p" is required in this case) to add or overwrite the locator for the citation to the left of the cursor.
