Citation appearing only as footnote or endnote

Hello, I can’t seem to add a citation except as a footnote or endnote. Apparently, I’m missing the Java Development Kit. The citation icon is also different from what I’m used to seeing — it is showing quotation marks rather than [-]. Help?

You choose the citation format, including in-text vs. footnote, by choosing a citation style and other settings from the plugin's Document Preferences window. (When you first used Add/Edit Citation in the document, it would've shown the preferences window.)

Right, because the citation styles you have selected is a note style. If you change to an author date or Harvard style, citations are in text.

Thank you - I hang my head in embarrassment :)
