The document at the URL address you posted is an html (website) version of a printed book (OCLC 427551687) of essays compiled from a seminar/conference. I don't know if the book is paginated but that isn't relevant in your situation. You don't have …

One thing to check is to look at the data directory location in both the Firefox plug-in and in the standalone. https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data Are both paths _exactly_ the same? If not then there are ways to combine the data file.

Zotero "expects" that your data directory will be located on your local hard drive. There are good but technical (meaning that I only have very limited understanding) reasons why this is the best location for your data. It is possible that you can …

Are you working from an "instructions for authors" for a journal? For a university? If yes, please provide a link. Did you examine the style (Am Sociol Assn) adamsmith recommended as similiar? See: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/583/2…

You will need to be much more specific about your problems with Sierra and Zotero. Are you using 10.12.1? See: https://www.zotero.org/support/getting_help Zotero and Sierra work with no problems for thousands of users. While I'm not a trouble-shoo…

OK. Thanks.

I'll do more testing. I was using Z Standalone. Tomorrow, I'll test with chrome and safari in addition to firefox. I began using the FF version of Zotero 5 beta. I started using the standalone as soon as I noticed it was available. I probably remo…

GS became less strict about phrases within quotes in early summer of this year. Word order no longer matters if there is not an _exact_ match. With SafetyLit, we had to scrap an automated search process and revert to hands-on. edit: Also, even wit…

A reminder: Zotero makes it easy to change from title case to sentence case. Right click in the title field and select "sentence case" from the dropdown. You will need to make manual changes to certain nouns show the first character as upper case. I…

edit: I apologize. In the midst of writing the response below, I left my computer for a few minutes before returning to complete and send it. @bwiernic has the more concise answer. Look for Word help topics on (or Google the words) widows (not win…

Dan, if you are willing to some hand-holding I'm willing to roll back to an earlier version from time machine and to retrace the steps that led to this issue.

When I made the original effort to check for an update there was a progress bar associated with the connection message. The progress bar showed no movement. My original issue was with that and I tried to send you debug info. I restarted Zotero and …
-
Normal Zotero panes when the red-bordered box related to migration appeared. No progress bar for the migration. Yes. Zotero files are now in ~/Zotero. I didn't check the old location but I can if it will be helpful. I'll need ro be reminded of the …

It is on a Mac. At first, after reading about an update here, I went to Help/check for updates. The connecting process with progress bar was taking a long time. I closed the stand-alone but first activated a debug after a restart. When I did restar…

5 beta standalone update to latest version. How much time should "data directory migration in progress" require? It is taking a very long time (13721 items , 2.8T free space on HD). Does do not interrupt mean that by writing this message (going to a…

What you describe is not really clear but I suggest that you-- find the items that have incorrect metadata within your Zotero library edit the incorrect records click the refresh Zotero icon within your LO document I don't understand your emphas…

Highlight (select) the item(s) in the middle column. Right-click and select Create Bibliography from Item... Select the citation style you want and select the output (Save as RTF, as HTML, copy to clipboard, or direct to print)

What are the version numbers of your Zotero add-on and your Firefox browser?
-
This is likely due to a setting in Word. The text appearance for footnotes is controlled in Word via the _Word_ styles setting. Zotero settings have nothing to do with controlling the appearance of text in footnotes -- only the content of the text. …

I don't know about a) or b) but I know that Mandeley also uses user library documents as its resource. I have found that the wrong document is often found and matched. Even when the correct document is identified in the combined user libraries, the …

Allow me to state what is obvious to some but may not be to others. Documents writen using LibraOffice / Open Office should _not_ be saved as .doc but should stay in .odt format. Even when using 'bookmarks' working with both LibreOffice and Word …

I just tested this and find a similar problem. I apologize. I should have tested before I provided advice from my memory. 1) I generated a report for a journal article. 2) The report appeared in a new window. 3) I clicked in the window to activate …

Do you get the print dialog box? If so, just as a test, can you "print" to a pdf file?
-
Just out of my own curiosity please explain further the meaning of "multiple citation _styles_ in the same document". A link to an example, please. Are you asking for a feature other than that discussed earlier in the thread?
-
I recommend that you produce each chapter as an individual document. You can have a reference list for each chapter/document. After each of the chapters have been finalized You can combine them into one document and create a bibliography that lists …

In theory, the capacity to have this feature incorporated into Zotero or available as an add-on may be available in the not-distant future. I built a system for my online database service (SafetyLit) to automatically query the PubMed system API and…

A reminder: Although the metadata from Google Scholar has somewhat improved over the past year, there are still frequent problems with (very) incorrect and incomplete metadata. I highly recommend using GS as an index, clicking through to the publish…

I wasn't suggesting that you view a video. Please scroll down until you see the Saving Webpages heading. The written instructions should help you to add web pages to your library. (I didn't view the video. I do know that the written instructions wil…

See: https://www.zotero.org/support/getting_stuff_into_your_library Scroll down to Saving Webpages You don't need to add the page manually, just follow the referenced instructions. You can add additional metadata or edit the existing metadata. Qui…

I haven't seen this mentioned and maybe this has already been tested and found to be safe. Mac Siera now places the Documents and Desktop directories in the cloud. Are these OK as places to house the Zotero database?
