  • Dear All, First, as always, I love Zotero and appreciate all you do. This is not a complaint, but a request if possible. I want to second this post. I would love to have more options on the Secondary Source Menu. It would help me understand the do…
  • Hi, Once again, thanks for all your hard work. I appreciate it. Zotero is amazing. I am trying to figure out a workaround for the question that was asked above about citing manuscripts: So, I, too, am trying to cite manuscripts. I find that I ca…
  • Hi Adam, Thanks for the information. No worries, I will use my workaround. Again, love Zotero, thanks for all the hard work. Daniel
  • Dear All, I am coming back to this thread almost 4 years later! First, I will say how much I love Zotero. It is amazing. I used if for my last book, and it saved so much time. It made my project so much easier. So, thanks. I am now s…
  • Hi Simon, I write this so others that have questions might get them answered here. It is Word. It repaginates every time I work within a footnote. I can turn off repagination only in Draft view. OK, so that is the problem. …
  • Hi Simon, OK, so I did some tests. I think it might be Word repaginating or something. I think I understand what Zotero does. When I insert a NEW citation, it takes the 25-30 seconds for the citation to appear. Then the cursor flicker…
  • Thanks for the reply Simon. I deleted the extensive bibliography, and it still takes time. As I look at the box you pasted, yes, it takes about 2 seconds for the insert citation box to disappear. Then I can edit text, but I can't get into…
  • Hi once again, I am still writing about large documents here, so the last two posts before this will give the context. So, I have a debug ID. The Debug ID is D1791349867 I am using Zotero Standalone with Word 2007. I am on a PC. …
  • Dear fbennet and Simon, OK, so I just did a test. It seems that it has to rewrite the registry every time I edit or insert a new citation. I am able to type in other parts of the document while it rewrites the registry, but I can kind of …
  • Dear fbennet and Simon, I will echo tillheilmann's praise for Zotero. I love it. I have been using it for years now and just submitted my first large manuscript using it. I had been keeping each chapter separate, so I hadn't noticed any siginif…
  • Adam, Thanks. I will look forward to that! I found the workaround that uses the "Extra" field as the date field. But I don't think I am going to do that, but rather wait for Zotero 4.2. Having that original date field will be really useful…
  • Thanks Adam, What do you mean "beyond the original date of publication"? Is there a new field to be created for original date of publication? I don't see one now. Again, thanks for everything. Daniel
  • Dear Adam, First, let me once again thank you for all your work. Zotero is excellent. You wrote above: "Zotero items currently don't have multiple dates". I am about to submit a manuscript with a few hundred sources and a many, many …
  • Hi Again, I probably should have done this first, here is what I have now: …
  • Hi Adam, Thanks so much for such a quick response. OK, I can find that code. Do I delete that whole first block of text and replace with just those two lines, then just delete the "else", so it will look like this: . . . Thanks so much…
  • Thanks so much Frank! That worked perfectly. I still have some work to do as I DO want the "p. " stripped for journals, but not for books and book chapters. And I have to look at subsequent vs. first time, but I got the idea and I can now make …
  • Hi Frank, OK, so I now have downloaded the latest Chicago Style (note). I figured out with the new coding how to get rid of the period at the end of the note (much easier than in the old csl styles, only one fix needed in CSL 1.0). But I still ca…
  • Hi again Frank, OK, so once again I jumped the gun. I now am able to open my edited style in Notepad. I understand that once I edit it again, I save it as a .csl and just drag it into Firefox. OK. But now, I searched for the string you mentioned:…
  • Thanks Frank, I am so sorry to keep asking questions, but I have two: 1. I looked at how to edit a style (I must have figured it out before as I edited Chicago to have no period at the end), but it has been a few years, and I have no idea …
  • Dear fbennet and Steve (again), OK, so I just clicked on the link (this time in Firefox, for some reason I was in another browser earlier), and it installed the "gadget." But when I go to a document and refresh my Zotero notes, the "p." and "pp…
  • Dear fbennet and Steve Milhist, Thanks for this great thread. I have run into the exact same problem as Steve Milhist -- that is, I made my own Chicago style (for mine, I got rid of the automatic period at the end as I often want to put in my o…
  • Dear All, I just downloaded the standalone, and I still can get my dates with dashes to work. In the date field, if I put "1947-48" I get back "48 1947". So, it is doing something. I tried a backslash "/", but that doesn't work either. Ju…
  • Dear All, I just downloaded the new Firefox and the new Zotero. As far as I can tell, we still cannot put in multiple dates. It does not allow a range, such as 1937-1966 (which is important for multi-volume works by one person) or original date…
  • Thanks fbennet. Wow, so there is an "original date" variable in CSL, it would be great to get this enabled. I just finished an article which dealt with 17th-19th century archaeology in India in which many of the articles and books have been re…
  • Dear Adam, Thanks for the prompt response! Yeah, I saw all the threads, but I was looking for a work around and didn't really find one, so now I know that I just need to be patient and wait, which I can do. Do you have an idea of when the …
  • Dear Dan and Frank, This is a great thread, as I too have the need for multiple years in the "date" field. In my case, I need to put the publication date of the book I used and THEN in brackets the year it was originally published. Example: a b…
  • Dear All, Samuelas gives a great solution that I didn't think of. Using Word footnote then just using citation for discursive footnotes. I have been inserting a footnote with Zotero, but I guess I should start using Word to insert then put in a…
  • Dear All, This is NOT an error, please do not correct it. Below is why: I think Zotero is NOT supposed to put in that final period. If you want to add text after the citation and use a comma, then the period would get in the way. So, putti…
  • Hi All, OK, so sorry for all this. After weeks of struggling, I just got lucky. It seems that two of the letters in the 5th bibliographic entry had French accents which were NOT a single letter, but a combination of a letter (the e) and an…
  • And again, The only information that I can add -- the first 4 bibliographic entries look fine. No problems. It starts with the 5th. Bibliographic entries # 2-4 are the same author, so I have a repeated author for 3 and 4 and this is represented…
