Upgrade StorageAdding page numbers to a specific entry
Hello,
the team has made a nice job on zotero: very handy and nice look-and-feel. Unfortunetely I don't understand zotero's logic in one aspect and I can't find a solution in the forum. If I cite a source, I understood how to manually add a page number when inserting the source into Word: So if you type in "p. 5", the short citation would be "Miller 2017, p. 5". That's fine but I would like to add page number to a note within zotero beforehand, so that it does the job automatically when incerting a quote and I can track where exactly that quote is within the source.
I have worked with Citavi before and there you can add a page number to each entry of a souce. So I have dozens of entries for one source and when I cite a specific entry, the program adds its page number to the short citation in my word doc. I have tried to do this in zotero but the notes don't offer a field for adding a page number. Is that also possible in zotero or can I just quote the entire souce, not its entries such as notes?
I would appreciate your help, thank you very much in advance,
Alexander

related question: I often take notes when reading a book, and make note of specific quotes on specific pages. Is the best way to store these quote references in Zotero using a Book item + individual notes for each quote, a Book item + and a single note, or multiple Book Section items (which has a Pages field) and a note for the related quote?
Book item + and a single note is simplest, and since "Zotero doesn't have a function to manage individual quotes," there's no particular reason to store each quote as a separate note -- but I would love to hear other users' experience / thoughts on this. thx!
