Checking back on this. Again, it would be nice to have the editor window open by default when adding or modifying a citation. Might also be useful to have multiple citations be the default, too.

I think you are right--Zotero and the translator are working well. Sorry not able to recreate the error but it happened early in the process and I didn't quite note all relevant characteristics. Joe
-
Interestingly, the errors stopped as I kept plugging away. I finished translating the approximately 6500 references in just a couple of hours using Freecite and your translator. I ran about 400 at a time (20 citations per MSWord page, times 20 pag…

Still working well, though a couple of interesting issues. The first is that it pays to work through the parsed list to make sure formatting is correct. If not caught there then the import will fail at the ill formatted citation. That's what it s…

It looks great! Thanks for doing that. BTW, you should be careful about setting expectations very high then meeting them so quickly! Joe
-
I will certainly mark them! And thanks again for your efforts--it's an incredibly useful translator. Joe

Thank you again for your efforts. Sorry to have taken so long to respond, but I was out of town for the past week or so. The translator works very well, but could I trouble you for one more modification? Is it possible, in cases where the short…

I think you're right--there shouldn't be a limit. But when I paste in the following block of citations, the folder icon for the translator does not appear in the location bar. Not sure why. Thanks again for your help and for writing the code…

Odd. But thanks again for your help. One last question, if you don't mind: does the translator have an upper limit on the number of citations it will process? It will do 4 at a time but not 10, or at least the folder icon does not appear in the F…

Hi Ajlyon, That was fast!!! Yes, it imports multiple citations properly. Thanks again. Now the interesting part--the second citation has the journal title in the right place but the first doesn't. Weird. Here are the citations: Aamodt…

Thanks for doing that! A problem and comment: Problem: Journal name (Psychological Review) was placed in the "Journal Abbr" field in Zotero rather than in the publication field. Comment: imports just one reference at a time even if mult…

Dropbox works just fine for me. Haven't used the Zotero server because 1.5 didnt' seem to work well. Dropbox was a much easier alternative for me.

For what it's worth, I've tried the Zotero plugins on my Macbook (10.5.7, 2.2ghz, 4GB ram) on the same document. The Word 2008 and NeoOffice (3, patch 3) plugins work fairly well but the OpenOffice (3.1) is slow beyond belief. The Word document wa…

Sorry Dan. I need to figure stuff out before emailing! The Zotero file belongs under /User/documents/Microsoft User Data/Word Script Menu Items/, not just in the documents folder. What a stupid I am. All is running well. Joe
-
But no Zotero functions under the applescript icon on both the admin and user accounts. Saw some other threads and moved the folder in question but still no go. Joe
-
Thanks, Dan. Tried it on my admin account but it didn't work. The error message said it was unable to install in /private/tmp so I looked there and found that it tried to create the zotero folder under the username that I first tried to install it…

No light. It wouldn't import subsequent files with 10,000 lines as it did with the first 3. I'm stuck...
-
Well... I've had some success carving up the file in Smultron (a text editor) into 10,000 line files (100,000 lines total). It has imported the first three parts. I've thrown caution to the wind and put the last 70000 lines in one file to see…

I did some searching before and after posting, and found that it might be an import issue with BibTex, so I reset the "translators and styles" but still no joy. Am now exporting via RIS from Refworks--I'll see where that leads.
