  • If you want to delete an item from your Zotero database, right click on the item you want to remove from your database, and then select "Delete Selected Item from Library." It could not be easier. If you want to delete a reference in your document…
  • Adam: Thanks. It appears that my manual installation of Zotero.dot worked. But I did not find the file where you suggest it should be. It was under c:\program file\zotero standalone\extensions\zoteroWinWord...\install The dot file in question i…
  • I get the message: "The macro cannot be found or has been disabled because of your macro security settings. What do I do now? I know that I have not disabled the macro. I would not even know how to do this, if I wanted to do so.
  • Please read the lines beginning with MWP as replies to your questions. Do you get a message that the word integration is installed succesfully? MWP: Yes. Is the toolbar enabled? MWP: I am not sure about what you mean by this …
  • Yes. I saw this message, and I followed the recommendations. That is why I am posting here. I might also mention that I've reinstalled both Zotero 3.0b2 and the related MSWord files, and standalone Zotero 3.0b2.1. Neither is capable of re-invigo…
  • asplunfj: Got it. "Click behind the entry so that you get a blinking line and then press ENTER twice. If ENTER is pressed only once, one gets --> {citation} Thanks.
  • Concerning the red bar, can someone explain how it works? I know that I can type in a word, and any entry in the database containing that word will be listed below the red bar. However, when I select an entry from the list, I get the author's surn…
  • Thank you. There is only one thing wrong with the assumption here. It is that all bibliographies are prepared for publication. But that is not always so. Some, and perhaps even many, are called for by university administrators who want the e…
  • I think our wires are crossed to some extent: 1. The github file is the style with which I am having problems. All you have to do to have may problems is place line-spacing+"1" in the place where entry-spacing="0" currently is, and it should …
  • Adam: Maybe I was misunderstanding this, but I thought that it was possible to achieve single spacing within a paragraph or entry and double spacing between the entries. It was that that I was trying to achieve, and obviously not able to work out.…

  • Thank you all for your help. Just to clarify: 1) No, I did not delete the bracket ">" I suspected that it was there as an end of line requirement. 2) If by the expression "the line is broken" you mean that part of a word is on one line a…
  • The style file does not end with . That is the penultimate line. It ends with . Simply put, I've noticed that if I delete spacing-value="0" on line 485, beginning at column 111, I get the error message above. If I re-introduce spacing-value="0…
  • And that is exactly what I did do. I did not mean to suggest that I deleted the entire line when I said above "I delete the line you suggest deleting." I meant that I deleted the words entry-spacing="0", and this resulted in the error message I q…
  • When I delete the line in question, this is what I get: XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: . Location: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/User/Application%20Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/f25yh804.default/zotero/styles/chicago-note-bi…
  • I've been able to make most of the modifications to the style Chicago-note-bibliography, except for the one that is most important, namely, double spacing between the entries. No matter what I do, I cannot get it to double space, and, as you can se…
  • If I might ask two short questions? I've searched the various fora for this and none of the suggestions work for me. So, here is my question. How do I single space each bibliographical entry and double space between the entries? I notice that so…
  • Adam Smith: Thank you. I did not think that it would be as simple as adding the lines near the bottom of the file. If I might just point out something: It is my impression that most people will not try amending a style file because they …
  • On April 21st, 2010, Adam Smith wrote in response to a query: you'll need a separate style: go here http://gist.github.com/374729 download the style by right-clicking on "Raw" at the top right and "Save LInk as..." you'll have a file call…
  • If I understand this correctly, this would change every bibliography that I produce to include abstracts? But it is not every bibliography that I want to change. It's only the occasional one that requires the abstract(s). Suppose, for instance, I…
  • Alternatively, and maybe even better, have a look in the Firefox profile directory first, --if you are running Windows XP, it is usually in the directory C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\f25yh804.default\zo…
  • Assuming that you are using a Windows machine -- I don't know if you have discovered AUTOHOTKEY or not, but you can solve your problem quite easily using this engine and one of its utilities and dictionaries called AUTOCORRECT. All you need do it i…
  • If you were to change the size of the font, would that not help?
  • Thank you Simon. It was changing dom.max_script_run_time that made the difference. I tried changing the "chrome" line, but that did not do the job. It was only when I changed the line beneath dom.max_chrome_script_run_time that I noticed a …
  • Thank you AdamSmith. Just as a matter of interest, would someone know how I can go about adjusting the settings? Not that I necessarily will do this, but it maybe would be a useful just to know how to do it.
  • Thank you ajlyon. I'm so used to pressing the cut, copy, paste and delete buttons that I completely forgot the key-board commands.
  • Adam: Thank you.
  • First, thank you for replying. In response to your question: Yes, my problem has been with logging into the Zotero support groups, ...although apparently not at the moment. I tried your IE suggestion, and while the screen real-estate is…
  • fbennett -- I should have mentioned this in my previous message. Can you fix the standalone version of Zotero? It suffers from the same problem. Thanks in advance.
  • fbennett -- Thank you for solving the problem mentioned above. I raised the matter about a month back when I pointed out that apostrophes in article titles were being converted to a tiny bird, and it seemed independent of the word-processor, or the…
