1. If you are using one continuous bibliography for multiple documents it is probably best to manually control them. You can drag and drop bibliographic references from Zotero into Word, and you can use a shortcut key (look at the shortcut section o…

Zotero does exactly this with many databases. Just make sure you have the "Automatically attach PDFs and other files when saving items" preference checked in your preference pane.

Tony, I cannot replicate the problem. Is anyone else getting snapshots when they are not supposed to?

Zotero can download attached podcasts and video files already it is just a matter of the specific site translator. If there are sites where you would like the ability to do this please mention them here or in the thread for translator requests.

A fix for abstracts in EBSCOhost was recently pushed out. Your copy of Zotero should auto-update within 24 hours, or you can update manually by clicking Update Now in the General pane of the Zotero prefs. To open the preferences pane click the gear …

Zotero is compatible with Vista. Can you be more specific about how your installation is failing. See http://www.zotero.org/documentation/installation for help with common installation issues.

Several of the styles available to you in Zotero do just that. For example the APA style only uses initials for bibliographic entries.

I can confirm that MLA is not adding edition information. Could you post or link to some examples of what the edition information should look like in a MLA citation.

While you are editing a specific field you can use Firefox's native undo function. There is also a ticket for a recently deleted items folder.

You can shrink Zotero down to just be the menu bar. Then you get all the buttons and almost a full screen for browsing.

The short answer is no. Zotero does have the ability to import metadata from PDFs. Searching for them in Zotero compatible catalogs and databases and then importing them might seem tedious but it is probably the most straightforward way to build you…

It should not be that difficult to alter a style for this purpose. See the common options in CSL. Launch the CSL live editor by pasting chrome://zotero/content/tools/csledit.xul into your location bar. Then chose the style you want to edit and chang…

You currently cannot move Zotero into its own tab. For the time being asplundj's recommendation for Zotero's quick toggle is a good one. At some point there is a plan to abstract the Zotero interface so that it can be used in various configurations,…

Generally when websites offer a "Download to Endnote" button they are actually allowing you to download RIS files, so un-checking the preference should keep Zotero from intercepting your Endnote downloads. Could you post a link to a record that is s…

If you want Endnote to import RIS files you can switch off "Use Zotero for downloaded RIS/Refer files" preference in the Zotero's preference pane.

Zotero's word plugin will manage your citation numbers for you. See http://www.zotero.org/documentation/microsoft_word_integration Zotero runs just fine on Vista.

Zotero does have a Forum post item type, that said many (probably most) bibliographic styles wont really know what to do with them. If you use Zotero's "Create New Item From Current Page" button you can generate a basic website item with a archived …

Can you try disabling your other Firefox extensions?
