I've been having this issue since 2007 and haven't gotten an answer on it yet... http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/392/search-then-save/

Hello all, I am still having this same problem. Any way we will ever be able to search in "all" fields or search "anywhere"? I performed a search today but I think the term I'm looking for might be in the text of the pdfs and I don't see that as an …

I'm sorry, no, it wasn't. I don't know how it got unchecked (I certainly didn't do it!), I didn't even know it was an option. It used to just do it automatically. Thanks for the help!

I ended up doing it by hand instead of trying to figure out what the problem was. I did not have time to troubleshoot, I had to submit.

By the way, can someone help me out on this? I tried copying and pasting into a new document but that doesn't work either. I am trying to finalize my dissertation and I need to submit it this week. If Zotero can't do it I'll have to do it by hand an…

I have this problem on my Mac. Old doc doesn't work; there is a communication problem with Zotero, make sure Zotero is open (it is). When making a new doc, it opens and communicates just fine. I'm using Chicago author-date with fields and Mac OS X T…

Any progress on this front? I'm writing a dissertation and I have hundreds of references I have to go back and delete this stuff from. And I better not update the bibliography because if I do, I have to go back through and do it all over again. Why …

Well it broke again. This time my fix didn't work. I'm sending the whole document with the part I was working on when it broke highlighted in green. I wasn't doing anything unusual (just working on the Mac side) except I had just downloaded a couple…

Unfortunately once I got rid of the "bad" citation and pasted the problem paragraph as plain text, I didn't save the bad version. I tried to recreate the error and it didn't work. It works fine now. I guess maybe there was nothing wrong with that ci…

It's a 100-page dissertation. Can I just send you the broken paragraph? I don't know if I still have the broken paragraph... I'll have to check...

UPDATE: When I just removed the problem paragraph from the original document it fixed it as well. Maybe you could try removing the paragraph or section you were working on when it broke? Or the last thing you were working on before you closed the do…

No, sorry, I didn't see any code that was funny or anything. I really don't know what broke it. I had a "bad" citation that I removed (from JSTOR) and then I added the same one from a different site and it seems to work fine now. Good luck.
-
Well, I narrowed it down to one problem paragraph, the one I had been working on when it broke. So I copied and pasted everything but that paragraph to a new document and then I was able to add citations. Finally, I copied and pasted that paragraph …

Hi, Thanks for responding so quickly. Here is a URL from the Chicago Manual of Style with some commonly-used citations (book, journal article, etc.). http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html Is this what you were going for? I c…

Hi, This is still a problem for me. As I'm writing my dissertation, I'm going to have probably around a hundred references in my reference list that need attention, in addition to the hundreds of in-text citations that will have to be manually edit…

Thanks! I'll try it out!

Hi, Thanks for responding. I'm not thinking about anything too complicated here. I think a simple modification of the book or book section item would do. For example, instead of "pages" there could be an option for "verses" instead. This could be u…

UPDATE: I came up with a semi-solution. I made a new profile for my Mac and pointed it to use the profile on the flash drive, and it works now. So although it's not running from the flash drive, it's using the Zotero library from it so I can access …

I'm trying to install Zotero on a cross-platform portable version of Firefox. The original is 1.5 but then I update to 2.0.0.4 on both Windows and Mac sides. Then I install the Zotero extension by saving to the desktop and dragging it into the Add-o…

"We don't recommend using import/export to move your Zotero library to another computer—just make a copy of the Zotero data directory (in the Firefox profile by default) and make sure you're using the latest version of Zotero from zotero.org on both…

>>Trying to transfer libraries between my laptop (Ubuntu 6.06) and desktop (Mac 10.4.8). When I attempt to import the file My Library.rdf I get the following error: An error occurred while trying to import the selected file. Please ensure that…

Okay, I copied and pasted the text into a new document, and tried to insert the bibliography. At first I got an error but that was because Zotero had gone and inserted an extra ( before all my in-text citations (because I had manually fixed them aft…

Hi Dan, No, I didn't use Zotero.dot to make a new document. I made it a few weeks ago with just a normal Word file, using the Zotero buttons. It worked fine before. I will try to copy and paste into a new file to see if that helps, and let you know.…

Okay, with a brand new document, it works fine. If I try to add a citation to a document that I created using Zotero before, I get the error. I don't know anything about Visual Basic so I can't really go in and see what the problem means. Hope this …

My Zotero.dot is in the startup directory in my user Application Data folder. I just re-downloaded Zotero and the Word plugin yesterday from the above mentioned links. The document I was working with was not a new document and I'm not sure if it had…

It doesn't even work with me. I get a runtime error, which I have to end, and then no citation in my document, only {Citation}. It won't insert a bibliography either. I get a runtime error I have to end as well. It used to work before I downloaded t…

Hi Dan, I did exactly as you said and I'm still getting errors. When I try to insert a citation, I get "Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument" at which point I have to click End. Then, I get a {Citation} in my document. Thanks, …

I figured it didn't work in pdf files. Does the toolbar appear for any snapshot, regardless of format? Thanks! Callista

Wow, I can't get the highlighting to work at all. No matter how I click and select, I don't get any highlight. I also can't get the annotations to work. I click and nothing happens. I should add that I'm attempting this on a pdf file saved as a Zote…
