Oops. Yeah, I think that's the problem. Changed the disk's name and it worked... so weird!
-
Is there a problem because my disk has a greek name?
-
OK, here's the output when I run it: error "File alias αυ’´ρα:Users:sam:.zoteroIntegrationPipe of «script» wasn’t found." number -43 Mean anything? s
-
2nd: I pasted the other into Fireforx: here is the output: alias ((path to home folder as text) & ".zoteroIntegrationPipe") do shell script "echo 'MacWord2008 addCitation' > ~/.zoteroIntegrationPipe" What do you think? thanks…

OK: I tried the first one again and saw this from the Word dialogue: "COMMAND: app(u'/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word.app').make(new=k.custom_document_property,with_properties={k.name: u'ZOTERO_PREF_1',k.value: u'session id="iRWZ1…

Thanks for the response! As far as I can tell, no postable output: inserting that in the terminal actually allows me to insert citations into a document--no other output happens! But when I try to use the apple script menu, I still get nothing. Does…

I use Chicago style. While RTF scan has greatly improved, I have a couple more observations. My workflow involves composing in Scrivener and exporting to RTF; the results are still the best in Word--that is, if I open the scanned RTF in Word (which …
-
I have also tested this with RTF documents exported from Scrivener and Mellel and they worked fine (as long as I didn't open them in Nisus before the scan), so there seems to be something wrong with the way Nisus does RTF.
-
The bibliography command only seems to work with RTF documents saved in Word, not in Nisus (the native format of which is RTF). Weird.
-
@ritnze oops! many thanks. I had actually read through the posts above, so I guess this qualifies me as a space cadet.
-
I'm incredibly pleased with the addition of this function since I prefer and usually write in minor Mac wps (Nisus, Scrivener). So far, especially considering its easily equivocal syntax "()," it works rather well (note, I like the brackets idea sin…
-
OK: so I finally downloaded OpenOffice for use on my antique iMac (1st gen star wars flat screen) after my much newer Macbook started to die. It interacts with Zotero at least 5 times faster than the copy of Word 04 I have installed. I thank the pos…
-
A good question--it still isn't quite as "native" as Neo--just my impression, of course.
-
Oops. 1.0 and Word 2004, that should read.
-
I have the same problem and the above solution doesn't work. I'm using 1.5 with Word 2008 (Mac) and changing the style doesn't seem to cut it: any new citations will be in Times New Roman and a refresh will turn everything into Times New Roman. …
-
Thanks. To be clearer: I'm wondering if NeoOffice is similar enough to OpenOffice for fields to work, or would both platforms need to run OpenOffice?
-
thanks! Will odf + fields work well between Neooffice (Mac) and OpenOffice on another platform? Does the same go (for citations with fields) in Word? many thanks again!
-
I'm just starting my first academic job and the computer they gave me came with Word 2008--ditto the computers all around campus. ITS, here at least, seems to be completely over Word 2004... It made me wonder about the status of the new plug-i…
-
It would be nice to be able to configure this for all the things handled like introductions (prefaces, prologues, and so forth).
-
Marisa--the other advantage of adding the "especially see p. 36 for..." to the footnote text (rather than as a suffix) is that long suffixes can slow things down or cause errors. A simple "See" prefix probably is okay, but adding too much text to th…
-
Doing a refresh of your citations usually resolves missing periods. If you want a Chicago style note that is open ended, you should make a footnote and then press the citation button--the developers had the foresight to differentiate between straigh…
-
I'm not sure exactly what style inheritance is, but your assessment of Pages is basically correct. Still I like it better than either Word or OOo/Neo (which have their own defects, and how!) and would use it if it worked with Zotero. Maybe one day w…
-
Here is where they are discussing that: https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/698 Sadly, it looks like we're some time away...
-
My sense (as someone from an MLA field) is that yes, most people use italics. You might wait to see exactly what the 3rd ed. demands, however. For example--medium of publication will be a new field for the works cited ref.
-
From what I can tell, the new, just released MLA third edition enforces the use of italics rather than underlining (and one assumes the examples will use Times rather than Courier) in order to finally recognize what nearly everyone already does anyw…
-
A citations API as a system service would be lovely. In the meantime I figured out that using Exposé can mimic some of the functionality one misses by not using Open or Word with Zotero. In one Expose section is my WP and in the next I place F…
-
Sure, here is a footnote using CMS Fullnote with Bibliography (dev): [This is cut and pasted, but underscores added to denote italics.] Fredric Jameson, “Periodizing the Sixties,” in _The 60s Without Apology_, ed. Sohnya Sayres (Minneapolis: U…
-
It seems that Chicago style adds and extra space before the "trans." and ".ed" I also can't get the bibliography to automatically "———" a repeated author's name.
-
Thanks for the update. Good luck!
-
I wonder if any of the developers might offer an update as to the status of the Word '08 plug-in. That is--a few months? a year? Knowing would really help me plan my projects... many thanks, Sam
