Adam: I finished the thesis over a year ago, using Zotero 1. I then wrote another book, and went up to Zotero 2 (currently 2.0.9). When I returned to edit the thesis as a book and tried to add a new citation I was told I had to specify my document…

Back to my problems with reference marks and bookmarks, I'm afraid. As I said, I seem to be stuck with bookmarks, because any attempt to set up the document with reference marks (which I would far prefer, if only because I can see them!) causes rep…
-
Looks like I'm stuck with bookmarks; I tried changing back to reference marks, and then I tried starting afresh with reference marks on a backup document that hadn't been changed either way, and in each case I got a screen full of error messages tha…

Thanks. On removing field codes: the reason I hadn't met this issue before is that my thesis went to the examiners in printed form (though I sent it to OUP as a Word file) -- and with the other book I just used Zotero to create the bibliograp…
-
Thanks to both of you; as always the responses on this forum are expert and helpful. I changed to bookmarks because I (mis?)understood the document preferences choice to say that if I used reference marks I wouldn't be able to save it in Word w…

Hi. I wondered if anyone had a solution to the OOo plug-in problem. I suspect I'll have to solve that before I can change the citation format from in-text to endnotes -- and I haven't figured out how to do that either... Incidentally, I love …
-
Okay -- I'll wait and see if they can help. Btw, the only way out of the problem above is to use Windows Task Manager to kill OOo. Meanwhile, I'll just keep on editing the text...
-
Thanks for such a fast reply, Adam. It looks as if I need to make sure the document will work with the new plug-in before I start changing the citation style. I've taken a test copy to play with rather than risking the original. Presumably I jus…
-
The celebration will have to wait until after the viva (I hope) in a few months' time -- but yes, once I've printed, bound and submitted the thesis I'll have time to look through the problem again, and report back.

Sorry I didn't get back last night -- on top of everything else my internet connection went down. I finally realised what you meant, stopped panicking and started analysing. I created a bibliography from each of the original individual chapter…

I copied all the text into a new file. Same OOo error message: "Inadmissible value or data type. Overflow." Same line highlighted in the file [My Macros & Dialogs].Zotero: Ln 635, Col 60, "mTagStart(nTagIndex) = Len(sResultText)" I sent…

Hi Adam Good to hear from you again, and thanks for coming back to me so quickly. (Sorry for my delay in replying -- I had to go out to buy five reams of printer paper...) The Report Error, oddly, only shows the preview text of my post he…

Hi Dan -- Thanks for replying. I'm using Zotero 1.0.10. I didn't want to risk upgrading to the new version half way through my thesis, just in case -- I think I read something about not being able to go back again. The plug-in for OOo is Zote…
-
Okay, done. Let's hope that tomorrow it remembers all of this... Thanks again.

Hi Adam You have been so helpful. Thank you. I had one concern. You said to change the and lines, but didn't mention the next line, in this case . I didn't change it, but should I have done? I followed the instructions, including changing th…

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly; that's good of you. I'm using Chicago Manual of Style (Author-Date format) -- sorry, I should have said. Okay, I think I can handle this. But before I do, can I just make sure that it won't do anything nas…
-
I may be in the wrong place; this seems to be a programmer discussion rather than a user forum -- but it's the nearest I've found to a discussion of my problem. I'm about to submit my PhD thesis, written in OOo Writer 3.1.0 using Zotero 1.0.10 …
-
Thanks, noksagt. I only use the one computer, but yes, I may have had most, though probably not all of the files open at the same time. The only response I had on the OOo forum, by the way, was that my system was probably screwed up, and tha…

Thank you for such a quick reply. After posting my scream for help I remembered I'd copied all the relevant files to a data stick. I've just copied them back to my PC, and (thank the gods) they all work. Can you think of any reason why th…
