Yes, both online and local trash.

Alas, no. That was among the first places I looked for a directory of or filename.

There are many sources of support for MS Word. However, many seem to be more lists of complaints. Just do a Google search for Microsoft Word support. You didn't tell us your operating system (Windows, Mac) but I suspect that you will feel much les…

@mronkko This works for me (individual articles and list results with HighWire) and within and outside of my university proxy. Test this again and it may work for you. Yesterday, for several hours I could get to Sage journal tables of contents but…

International Journal of Sports Medicine and most Thieme journals follows what is essentially Vancouver style but with author names in italics. When citing a book section the chapter authors are in italics but the book editors are not. The names of …

the full title of this post (not available in above view but in list view) says MLA.

The biggest problem right now is that all authors' names are entered and stored in a single field with no guidance as to how first name / last name should be included and multiple authors simply separated by ";" (but not necessarily). However, if th…

Allow me to add a couple of comments. Zotero is widely and successfully used by academics, students writing theses, and authors of technical reports. Six years ago I used Zotero and Word to write my 300 page, 410 citation doctoral thesis. I am sorry…

My edit crossed paths with your reply. I assumed that the request concerned the ZSA version because it is hard to overlook in the FF version. I added the comment concerning ZFF.

Within Zotero for Firefox under the General Setting of the Gear menu/ Pregerences you should untick "Use Zotero for downloaded RIS/Refer files. Otherwise: This not directly controlled by Zotero settings but through your browser and operating syste…

Here is a (revised) first draft of the cautionary statement: Zotero will accurately import metadata supplied by most bibliographic databases, library catalogs, publisher sites, and webpages. It will even make adjustments to the metadata to compensa…
-
I think that it may be helpful to prominently state that, while Zotero will accurately download metadata from the publisher or database, this metadata may be incomplete, incorrect, or in an inappropriate format. Much is made of "it just works" which…

Did the problem look something like this? See: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/25242/black-lines-missing-citations-toggle-mode/#Item_21 for screen shots and a video. If so, this is a video driver issue.

I have encountered this problem before and it has been version related. With early versions of the ZSA, Word 2007, and author date styles; Word can go kind-of crazy and insert fields (especially the bibliography) seemingly on its own. This also happ…

With RefWorks a student who leaves the university will need to buy an individual subscription or export their references to another personal bibliography manager. While RefWorks telephone help is adequate for institutional subscriber contacts, it is…

Please provide more info: What version of Zotero SA? What version of the Zotero Word integration tool? What citation style? If you start a new Word document ( as a test) , write a few lines, insert a bib; does the same problem occur?
-
Use case: Some students (I know of those in nursing and social work) can only use references less than three or five years old. In addition, if an author has published a more recent article on the topic the student must use the new article if the s…

To make my point better than I did above -- In process citations, those that are straight from the publisher, are often malformed and will require some adjustments within the translator before the finished abstract will be properly formatted. When P…

Depending on your machine's OS you may have backups of more recent versiond of your Zotero database. For example, through my Mac's "time machine" I can revert to many earlier versions of any file. Recent versions of Windows have a similar capability…

This is made more complicated by the spotty implementation of NLM's "structured abstracts" model. (see http://structuredabstracts.nlm.nih.gov/Implementation.shtml) Often even the major journal publishers provide metadata that does not meet the speci…

Re journal abbreviations -- While most folks work within a single discipline, use a core set of journals, and are familiar with the abbreviations for certain citation styles; there can be different journal abbreviation for the same journal with di…

Since I weighed in earlier with an ambiguous comment on another thread, let me say that I wholeheartedly endorse making the first character of a subtitle in upper case. Perhaps, this can be controlled by the language label. I teach seminars in cita…

Also please be sure we are using the words to mean the same thing. The top-most thing in the left hand column (Z-FireFox) is your library and the "folders" below the library are collections. Items that are in collections are in your library but your…

I have seen it both ways in print.
-
If I understood correctly the request wasn't to have Zotero do sentence case conversion but to allow the first character converted to upper case after certain punctuation marks (; ? ! ) followed by a space. I couldn't find the thread(s) after a quic…

I am working with OCLC to implement this feature on my online SafetyLit database. Although I haven't finalized all of the details it appears that this can be accomplished relatively simply. It requires creating a standard hyperlink that points to th…

Does this problem happen if you test by exporting/importing only one or two EndNote book records? If so, please post that short RIS file here. Zotero probably should not fail silently. Are you sure that the 'freezing' was not due to delayed completi…

Getting back live links: I think that I remember two ways to get what you want from Word (I no longer have it installed). Alas, the process is not automatic. Highlight the URL, right click, and select add hyperlink. A similar sequence can be done f…

Depending on the versions of FireFox and Zotero you are using there may be incompatibilities. You should be sure that you have the most recent version of Zotero (3.0.14) and that you are _not_ using an old version of FF (and not using FF 20 beta). T…

If you downloaded Zotero 3 weeks ago you don't have the most recent version. What version of FireFox are you using?
