I'll try one more time because you are clearly so extremely frustrated that you aren't thinking clearly. As adomasven said: You have to follow the Troubleshooting Errors in Word Processor Documents steps. Do this systematically and you will absolut…

Many times I find conference presentations when included in journals all have the same DOI. The abstracts are listed separately and are provided to databases as different items. However, the items do not have different DOIs. This is unfortunate.

Please calm down and recognize that the lead developer of Zotero and a senior staffer are trying to help. The forum has rules about being polite. Trust and respect their advice. They care about the user experience and try to help. No, you need not…

dstillman is Dan Stillman, the lead developer of Zotero and the most supportive developer of any software development project ever. And, "Adam" is not really Adam. Under his username he is one of the more active volunteers here who offer technical s…

What operating system are you using? Where did you obtain the file? Some OS settings allow the file extension to be hidden (you see file.ris but the real file name is file.ris.txt). The file may not be a properly formatted RIS file. Zotero is rath…

@adamsmith You are correct that I was not requesting ISSN search for Zotero. That said, is it not possible to accomplish something similar using advanced search and publication / journal name? (I haven't tried to do it.)
-
It is _very_ bad practice to directly access and edit Zotero database files outside of Zotero. Permanent damage is likely to occur.
-
Please explain further: "if people want a full volume". Zotero has an ISSN field. It is included in several export formats. This ISSN export is essential for my own (probably unique) purposes -- a journal name authority. It might help if you descr…

I understood that you were required to alter the standard AMA style. What adamsmith says is correct. Please confirm with your supervisor what is required (Standard AMA 11 or a modified version of AMA style).

See: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step This may look complicated but it is quite straightforward when you use text-editing software NOT word processor software Pay attention to the instructions about cha…

I haven't used MS Word in years but, when I did, there was most definitely the capacity to differently control first page footnotes and subsequent page footnotes. I'm sure that option wouldn't be removed. Then the control was placed similarly to the…

I hope you are asking about Zotero and not some other similar software. Much more information and details is needed for someone to help you. See: https://www.zotero.org/support/reporting_problems

Perhaps, in a perfect world the software we use could always be adapted to match the user interface each individual user wants. We don't live in that world. There are things about the Zotero UI that I'd like to change. I've made requests / suggest…

This turned out to be a computer hardware problem on two Mac Minis(!) The problem devolved into frequent crashed tabs in Firefox. Then into Firefox and Zotero crashes. Finally, into Kernel panic crashes with neither Firefox or Zotero open. The crash…

Thank you.

My question was more along the line of, "Does Zotero at the time of download recognize the OS and computer technical aspects and send a version specific to the requesting machine's needs?" Thanks
-
Thank you for fixing this. I appreciate your attention to my request. Oops I spoke too soon. If the first letyter is an "I" after a quote the upper case is retained but if is any other letter the first word still begins with a lower case letter.

@sinclair01 Reread my [[edited]] comment. Zotero has a dedicated notes field. https://www.zotero.org/support/notes

The metadata that is imported to the extra field will be useful when using many of the citation styles. You shouldn't delete this information to put just anything there. Zotero offers a dedicated notes field. https://www.zotero.org/support/notes …

Yes, flatten=unlink. When I completed my doctoral thesis, I did not cut and paste but actually typed-in the changes that I accepted. Sometimes the editor recognized something awkward but (because the editor wasn't an expert on my topic) I rephrased…

Did you close and restart Zotero after disabling the plugins?
-
I strongly recommend making a copy, removing the Zotero codes from the copy, and sending them the copy. Keep your original version with Zotero intact. There are so many things a proofreader can do that can damage some or all of your Zotero citatio…

Please help us help you by providing details of the problems you are having. You first said that "you must place the cursor in a zotero citation to edit it..." Are you trying to edit a citation that you already inserted? Are you trying to insert a n…

See: https://www.zotero.org/support/styles You will need to state the journal name or the institution . (How do you know what style you want without knowing the journal name of the institution that requires a specific style?) Provide a URL to the …

What operating system? Linux, Mac, Windows? Unless your computer is managed by an institution such as a university or your company, you should be able to one-time set the directory to be writable. Do you use some special security software that might…

If the Word or LibreOffice style for the bibliography is not correct (is the same as the style for the body of your manuscript) you can change the bibliography style in your word processor. You, however, shouldn't need to do this. Did you, or someon…

What you are calling "folders" are not directories but are more akin to music playlists. In Zotero these folders are called collections. That is, a single item can be in multiple collections. When an item from one collection is merged with an item f…

Are you asking if you can subscribe to the library and have new items automatically added to your own library? It is a public group. Thus, you can click to add it to your collection of groups. Even with iPad app you can select any item from ebrese…

Please provide details. Do you get a Zotero icon? Does Zotero appear among your other applications? Even if you are not comfortable with computers someone here can probably help. Where did you download the Zotero application? From Zotero.org? What…
