Incorrect MLA In-Text Citation format in Zotero for Word

jpinzino
I have MLA 9th Edition added to my Zotero citation styles. However, in Zotero for Word, the in-text citations are not correctly formatted. For example, Zotero outputs (Johnson, 42) while there should be NO comma. The correct format is (Johnson 42). Can Zotero fix this?

Many thanks, Librarian Jane

    This is correct (i.e. without comma) in the style and I'm also not seeing this in testing. Can you walk us through exactly what you're doing to cite? Also, if using the Word add-on, double-check the style you're using under "Document Preferences" in the Zotero ribbon in Word.

    Note that Zotero does, in line with MLA style, add a comma before other locators such as chapter, so (Johson, chap. 2)

    I see, thank you. The indication is that the plug-in needs troubleshooting.
