New style new cite method? Plus incompatability?
I happend to update some styles yesterday. It appears that some new styles act very diffrent from what I used before. Since I had been using zotero 2.1 and word plugin 3.1 last month, the issue seem very puzzling for me.
Last time when I start to cite, I will open FF 4 and Word, clik the very left zotero button in word, then I can chose from styles and whether i want the citation to be footnote or endnote. Then I chose what i like to cite, and insert. Everything will be inplace, citation mark in text and bibliogaphy in footnote etc.
It is diffrent now. Some style will allow me act the very same way like before(some chicago style, I used last time). The others will never give option to chose from foot note or endnote(the botton is all grey). If I use these style, zotero will not insert citation as footnote/endnote. Instead, i will only have a citation mark in text and no biblio. surely i can generate all bibliography with the zotero botton. But, it is in the text, not footnote/endnote. If I want to swich from old style to new ones, i will get a 0x80004005 error.
So it appears to me that the new styles is acting diffrently with old ones, which is not interchangeable. In this new(or old but i missed somehow) method, zotero would like to have more control, and prefer not to use word's note system.
My system info:
win7 64
ff 4.01
zotero 2.1.7
word plugin 3.1

I don't understand what you mean by switching from old style to new style. And I don't know what a 0x80004005 error is.
If you speak German, French, Spanish, or Portuguese as a first language it might be easier to explain in one of those languages.
the error is a "translation error" in firefox.
i think i got your message about chicago style. thanks.
we'd have to know what those other styles are - I've never seen a "translation error" in Firefox related to Zotero - could still be the case, of course.
Could you create a report ID after triggering that error?

This happens when i insterted citation with chicago style and try change into other which is not allow footnote/endnote selection.
