One thing would be to look into LibreOffice. It's the better half of a fork in OpenOffice development that happened some time ago. LO is known to work well with Zotero, OO not so much. There is a known issue with drag-and-drop of citations into Lib…

It should just ignore the Court field when a U.S. District Court is selected from the menu. The style can be made to do so, if it's not. Just post the item if you run into something that looks problematic. It wouldn't take much to add the Circuit C…

Be sure to check their terms of service first. http://www.cnet.com/8301-30976_1-20068778-10348864.html (CNET's favourite is mine too. :)

Ah -- reread your post. By "failing" we would mean an item that should turn up in the listing, but doesn't. I'm pretty sure that this will be a style issue. If the Hereinafter variable is not tested for existence by an item, it won't make it into t…
-
It could well be a glitch in the style or the processor -- the hereinafter variable hasn't been put under much pressure yet. Could you export a failing reference as Zotero RDF, paste the content to http://gist.github.com, save it as a "public gist" …

I tried EndNote, which is much better, but again, you have to pay for it.Opinions vary on that one. :) Fifteen citations won't take you long.

For (1), if the reporter is (say) F.3d in the database, set this in the Abbreviation Filter under Reporters & Journals: !jurisdiction>>>F.3d This will suppress the jurisdiction whenever that journal is used. For (2), I take your po…
-
Most likely you need to enter a jurisdiction value ("us") -- a jurisdiction value is required for all of the legal types. See the screenshot below for a sample entry. The extra details that this throws up in the citation can be controlled through t…

By "export", adamsmith means data export in a computer-friendly structured format -- look for terms like RIS, MODS, or BibTeX.

It does seem to be working against saved documents here. Will await debugging information.

If close down, then I open an existing document created in AmLaw,it asks me what style to use (doesn't seem to remember) and not only are old abbreviations goneI'll try following these steps and see if I can reproduce the fault here. I haven't teste…

I'm still wavering over where to set the boundary between text input and the jurisdiction codes, as there are quite a few tribunals out there. An arbitrary line will need to be drawn at some point, but it should be one that is easily remembered. Wha…

It's very odd behaviour then, and I'm stumped. I don't think we've seen this before.

When you use "Add Citation" to insert a reference, you can either place the cursor in the main text, or in a footnote that you have opened manually in Word. In the former case, Zotero will automatically create a footnote and place the reference insi…

In that last response I missed the need for short forms in back-references. This can be handled via Hereinafter as well. (There is a problem with the typeface for articles -- italics are missing. It's a small style issue that I'll fix up later today…
-
While testing these use cases, I discovered to my chagrin that the plugin was not saving abbreviations across sessions. I've fixed that now, and you can update the Abbreviation Filter (formerly Abbreviations for Zotero) to get the repaired version. …
-
I thought that last month I had gotten the Extra field for jurisdictions to work with your clever popup but now it does not There was a mismatch in the codes used for Federal district levels in the UI and in the abbreviation lists. The UI value is c…

Ah -- sorry, I set up to disable Short Title, then forgot to toggle the option in MLZ. Try updating again; I've put up a fresh release, and tested it in the word processor this time. You can check the MLZ version via gear menu -> About Zotero (w…
-
Were the citations were entered into footnotes opened with Word? (If so, their position is fixed in the document, and you'll need to move them into the main text manually.)
-
What you are probably seeing is the Short Title field. In mainstream Zotero this is used when a title is requested in short form. A short-form request is also used to call the Abbreviation Filter, which gives rise to confusion. I've just put up a f…

I have run into this myself also. It's a minor annoyance, but I agree that it would be handy to have a (configurable) setting that allows "sticky" editing focus on a field in the Info panel. Even when copying fields in with c&p, it would definit…
-
I've done a few little tests, and discovered that creating a linked ODF document from the proposed drag and drop markers is astonishingly simple. There is no need to call Zotero; we can just insert the markers, and the word processor plugins will ta…
-
Great. You're in fine shape, I misunderstood your issue. There is no need to disable sync, leave it enabled. Now you just need to make a clean backup copy of your local Zotero data. Follow the instructions Dan linked above: Zotero data.
-
In passing, there's another handy feature in the design. Drag-and-drop cites in the form described under the link above include a zotero://select link, so you can click from your document back to the Zotero item. I don't think that's possible yet fr…
-
With RTF, you can insert a formatted reference, but it will just be a static string. ODF can store and retrieve live Zotero references, so you should be able to return a linked document that is editable in Zotero. Apart from that convenience, a scan…
-
Enchancing RTF scan to work with Zotero keys (like this) would give you very workable integration with Google Docs. Google Docs will save to ODF format. It should be possible to replace RTF scan keys with live Zotero links in an ODF document. If so…

I haven't tried this, but it should certainly be possible for someone to build it as a Firefox plugin. Some software needs to be written to make it happen. It doesn't exist yet, but it could be done. If you know any eager young programmers, you coul…

(@trangpham: Dan is pretty busy, and maybe a little concerned that you might have another accident. I'll do what I can to help, but you must be careful.) Let's confirm what you have in place right now. Is your local Zotero library functioning okay?
