notes insert inline

imarques
hello!
i created a note in zotero and now i am trying to insert it in a word document. however, the note is insert as text, in-line, instead of an "automatic field", like a regular citation.
i have uninstalled and reinstalled zotero, reinstalled the word plugin, and it is still not working.
many thanks!

    Well, what do you mean by that? If you're talking about the plugin's Add Note button, that inserts the note as actual text. It's only the citations within the note that will become active Zotero citations.

    i expected the note to be linked like a reference and inserted in the bibliography block. i'll try something else within the limits of the citation style.
    thanks!

    What would you like to achive? If you want citations in your note, you can add citations via button on toolbar.

    this would be my objective:

    If you insert your citations into your notes via the button on toolbar, when you import your notes from Zotero to Word via Zotero Add-on, citations should become live citations in your preferred citation style for the document.

    Notes are not considered bibliographic items by Zotero, therefore they can't be cited. But they can contain citations via the method described above.

    Also if you don't create a bibliography from the Zotero Add-on menu in Word, Zotero doesn't insert and update a bibliography from citations constantly. If all you are missing is bibliography/references section, you should create one from this menu.

    If this explanation is not sufficient, please try to follow the way I described above and share a screenshot of what has gone wrong.
