Ibid to replace sequential citations

zachbb
Is there a way of using Zotero's word plugin to replace repitions of citations with Ibid?

For instance, change this text:
Flowers are red (Brown, 1998, p.4), but elephants aren't (Brown, 1998, p.8)

With:
Flowers are red (Brown, 1998, p.4), but elephants aren't (ibid, p.8)

Thanks

Zach

    yes - it'd need to be coded in the style - for Chicago author-date, for example, see here:

    Note that you can't just copy this to another style. If you're somewhat tech-savvy the logic should be easy to see and you can fix that in your style. If not, ask for help here.

    I'm using APA, so I'd have to code it into the APA style, and then everytime I change the style, I'd have to change that style to include the ibid code, as well as make sure any other computer I use has that changed code installed?

    yes, exactly.
