Problem solved. As Aurimas notes above: "Drag-and-dropping is a bit buggy at least on Windows." In fact, it is more than "a bit buggy" on my machine. It has a tendency to not work at all, and right when I think that its a fault with the programm…

I thought that this was an issue that might be resolves quickly, but apparently I was wrong. As a consequence, I will have to bow out of this discussion for the foreseeable future owing to other pressing matters. If the problem is not resolved in …

Re.: Mr. Stillman's Question: On further testing, it appears that the maximum number of items that I can transfer from "My library" to a collection is _any_ three items. Mr. Aurimas' question: My OS is XP, and, when I am attempting to transfe…

If I understand your question correctly: the first two items on a search list of 74 items in total. poirmw

Debug ID: D1927278155. The smallest set was 2.

Ah, well, then maybe you are right. I am not sure about what you mean when you ask: "Is that collection in a different group/library? The entries are in "My library", and I want to create a new collection beneath "My library." When I drag and dr…
-
I don't think that it is a dragging problem. Let me say why. When I block-off the items I want to move to the new collection, a fainter representation of the blocked-off items follows my cursor to the new collection name, but nothing get transferr…

Thank you. The box was not checked. MSWord informs me that Zotero caused a serious error the last time it was opened. I suspect it might be a problem arising from failed saves which leave behind a file with names like this ~WRL0654 In …
-
Gracile Thank you. I don't know how that happened because I rarely make changes to my "preferences," and I know that I did not make any changes in that area recently. Hmmm? In any case, thank you very much. This is really a very helpful lis…

I think that this may be the URL that you are looking for: http://imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&id=4tHcmJ-mlaCylKiSo-PP3qfO5co If it is, then look to the upper left, just below the tool bar. It's that symbol that is causin…

Uploading stuff to sites like this one is not my forté. Believe it or not, but I don't know how to do this. I may not even have been able to upload the initial screen shot, which I thought I uploaded, since when I look for it, I cannot find it. I…

Gracile: I've uploaded a screen shot to IMAGRSHACK. How will you find it? Do I need to give you more information? I called the file ZoteroUpperLeft.jpg. Enlarge it and look at the upper left just below the menu bar on Firefox MWP
-
My OS is Windows XP Can I send a screen shot to another location? I cannot get the location you mention above to work for me. MWP
-
I've tried your suggestion, but it does not seem to work. I am not sure if we are speaking of the same little "Z" on the upper left. Mind you, there is only one letter "Z" in that region of the screen. It is a white letter "Z" in a red circle. It …

Why not just get yourself a memory stick, copy all of the important files to it, and carry it with you, or alternatively, get two or three or more memory sticks and place each in different locations.

If I understand you correctly, you have not installed the MSWord wordprocessor plugin. Go here: http://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_installation and install the appropriate plugin.

Gracile: Thank you. I noticed the parsing indicators at the end of the line in my other entries, but I had not focussed on the meaning of these nor on the absence in my problem dates or on the slight difference in colour of the indicators. I am g…
-
Thank you Gracile. I should have thought of this temporary solution. I also searched the forum but did not notice this. MWP I find it curious that an underscore symbol will produce the right order in dates, while a dash will not. i.e., 2007…
-
I think that I can work with a temporary solution until you find the correct one. I just reverse the dates. Since Zotero insists on converting 1995 1965 to 1996 1995, then reverse the entry to read 1996 1995 and then the right dates come up. Then…
-
Have you considered placing the "de" with the first name, i.e., "Henri de"? That appears to work. poirmw

I am assuming that you are running a Windows machine. If you want to correct spelling in notes, have a look at a little programme called Tinyspell. There is a free version and a commercial version. Alternatively, look at the autocorrecting pr…

Look for "American Political Science Association." It's in the style repository. I just saw it. The press "install." MWP
-
How are you characterising the item type, as an "Article" or "Book Section"? Try the latter and see if that works better. MWP
-
Strangely enough, pressing "No" does not appear to have deleted anything. Mind you, some of the references were written prior to my coming into contact with Zotero, so that may be the explanation, though curiously Zotero seems able to recognise the…
-
You appear to be correct. What I did was press "No" in the frame that opens to tell me "the item is no longer in my database," which, by the way was initially 5 pages away from where I was trying to enter a reference, and the reference 5 pages on w…

Thanks for the advice. It appears that Firefox 11 is no longer available, or, it it is, then I was not able to find it. So I downloaded Firefox 12. I'll report if something goes off track. Again, Thanks. MWP
-
Thank you for the suggestion above. I am not sure if I know how to make these modifications, but I'll try. If I cannot get it to work, I won't waste time on it. I'll simply modify the text in the footnote and/or bibliography as need be. Again, t…

In reply to fbennett: Only those that are French entries. Here is an example of what I mean: Oscar Cullmann, “Jésus-Christ a-t-il eu des visées politique?,” L’Église canadienne XI, no. 10 (January 26, 1978): 305–313. The actual date …

Is it not as simple as pressing the Note tab a second, third, etc. time? It appears to me that it is. Try it and see if if does what you want it to do.
-
If I might make a suggestion here, why not use third-party spell checkers with Zotero? I've been using TinySpell as well as some of the auto-correcting programmes that run under Autohotkey, and in combination or alone, they all work very well. In …
