I hope I'm posting this in the right thread. I have an a, b, and c problem too, using the Chicago 17 author-date style. Multiple works by the same author, published in the same year do not aphabetize by the title of the work, but by the date of pu…

Thanks, adamsmith. I created a test document and input the same citations as in the chapter in which the italics had occurred. All of these came out with et al. in roman, as they should be. I then went back to the chapter, deleted the offending cita…

Hi, I'm using Chicago 17th edition author-date in MS Word 2016 and in my in-text citations et al. sometimes appears in roman and sometimes in italics, in the same document. I've refreshed the bibliography but the problem persists. Is there an explan…

So sorry! As a non-expert user I was hesitant to start a new thread in case I annoy the experts who run this forum. And if threads are closed, is this not usually indicated by the moderator? Foskett 1976b is a quite different item, not another vers…

I don't know whether this is quite the same issue, but I'm finding two (only two so far out of around 950) references in my book that repeatedly hold up the Refresh and Add/Edit Bibliography functions in my documents. When they occur, the process st…

Returning to my comment of 6 June 2017, is there any hope that we can get a basic indicator to tell us when a large bibliography is being compiled? I'm working on a large book project and when I ask Zotero to create the bibliography, nothing seems t…

Many thanks for the explanation, dstillman. It is helpful to know what the cause of a problem is. (The second example was just a variant of the same problem. And I did realize that the cursor landing on "Edition" was in itself irrelevant. I was mere…

Thanks! It's tricky, because it does not always happen, It's unpredictable, but here is one event: I clicked on "# of pages" and this field was suddenly highlighted in blue as I started typing. The ID is D92648692 Here is another event: Having fin…

Thank you, bwiernik, I'll look out for this in future. To encourage others daunted by the prospect of producing a big bibliography, I can report as follows. (This was done before I saw your reply.) I worked on 3-year old desktop with an i3 Intel …

Apology if this is hopelessly naive: when I'm trying to insert a big bibliography (several thousand items) it would help me if I knew whether something was happening or not. Is there some way to tell that Zotero is chugging through it? Or could some…
