How would we describe such a preference? I'd be concerned that the contents of these notes differ too widely between translators to be described in a coherent way.This seems contradictory in a few ways: 1. We aren't sure what information is there or…

You can include everything as a suffix: 1: 885

I have 11 similar (I think) crash reports logged since Sept. 6. I may have not been using Zotero regularly in the week between Aug 29 and Sept 6, so that would fit. It's difficult to reproduce in that it's intermittent. Happens about once per day (…

Thanks for checking on it. It's a nuisance but doesn't prohibit Zotero from working, just requires a restart sometimes. (I can't upgrade because that will disable crucial 32-bit software I use.)
-
Yes, it crashes completely (the program disappears and a warning appears). I've sent a crash report by email. Thank you.

For published conference proceedings, Zotero uses the item type Conference paper. (For an unpublished presentation given at a conference, Zotero uses the item type Presentation.) The rest depends on the citation style, but you'll probably need to in…

(You want multiple bibliographies in your document, one for each chapter, then a combined one at the end? Zotero does not do that, and that's a very rare need. You can do it manually by combining everything at the end. -- OK, nevermind, I see this i…

Each work should have one entry in Zotero, and then locators like page numbers should be added in specific citations. If you are citing a whole book, but different sections of that book, use one entry and cite it with locators like pages or chapter…

There's no way to (automatically) have separate sections in a bibliography (Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc.): If you want continuous numbering throughout, then use a single document for the whole book, with the endnotes (rather than footnotes) setting …

(RTL support varies in different versions of Word (Mac vs. Windows, etc.), including how RTL and LTR text are combined. What works in one doesn't necessarily transfer to another. In the end, it's sometimes easier to just fix these things manually af…

(And an odd question: in principle, should such a citation, in formats that typically end the whole bibliographic entry with a dot, end in two dots ".." or just one "."? Anyone copying and pasting wouldn't know to copy the dot, and while the double …

@bwiernik, try the DOI provided. It actually ends in a period. Whether or not it should, the publisher assigned that designation and it works via doi.org, but not without the final period. (I haven't seen that before.)

There are tutorials and information online, including on this website: https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_integration If you just want to create a bibliography of all of your items in a collection, you can export that from directly withi…

Are you using the application (installed on your computer), or only the website? These things will be much easier to do with the application.

(Sorry this is somewhat tangential, but what is the resistance to merging duplicates in OCLC? I'm a very frequent and very multilingual user of OCLC, and there are multiple records for books new and old. Often there are two or three records for book…

Not quite, no -- suffixes after n. d. need to be added explicitly in the style and they're not in most styles.Ah, I was used to this working in some styles. Makes sense!
-
I believe this should just work. If not, someone should be able to help you. 1. What style are you using? 2. How is "n.d." created? Is this automatically generated as part of the style? Are you entering it manually (where)? (That might be why it is…

Without the ability to open multiple windows, this feature would be very helpful for workflow. Or some similar active/favorite option so that we could flip back and forth between a relevant citation while looking around at others.
-
No, not currently possible. (The idea is being discussed or developed, but indefinite timeline. See the previous threads.) The best you can do would be to add the book/chapters as related items in your library. Then (I wrote a longer version of th…

And if I pull text out of my primary document to add citations in a different document, doesn't that rather defeat the point?No, not at all. I do this every day. Simply write in another window, then copy that section back into your main document. Yo…

Do you mean in-text, or in the bibliography? In-text cites allow for "prefixes" and "suffixes" where you could write for example: (Smith 2000; translation from Jones 1999) In the bibliography, generally there's no default way to indicate that one …

How are you doing this? Everything should be automatically maintained in the right order using the Word plugin, for example. If not, what "links"? What are you doing specifically?

(One concern: Word nearly freezes whenever I save my hundreds-of-pages dissertation file, and then the application goes into beachball mode (OSX) while everything processes for a few minutes. I'd be very concerned about Zotero automatically controll…

Yes, I have similarly had issues when updating authors. One oddity is that sometimes the new bibliography will be generated with the right information, but without resorting the entries. I've only seen that once or twice, so I can't provide any debu…

Oh, I see! Would converting to a note style help at all? One problem would still be the spaces around the cites, and that's also a problem with your macro. Does Word include punctuation separated by spaces as separate words in the word count? I can'…
