  • Sorry Ignore this - had given up on trying to do this and passed it to someone else - and now am back and had overlooked the earlier help I had. Will re-read it - but it all does seem not very intuitive. Great if you use it every day but I suspect…
  • Thanks DWL - I was selecting the citation but not the entire thing - just putting the cursor where I wanted to add. Thank you both for your patience - bed now and miss tomorrow's deadline but tough!
  • I must be completely thick - but if I try to add a third citation to a previously created muti-citation I get the effect shown in the DB link. Sorry - I'm extremely tired, but I have tried all these things and seem to be missing something
  • But surely there is a way of editing or consolidating citations after you have entered them. You often (or rather I often) don't know everything I want to cite and the list changes. The documentation seems to suggest you have to do it all in one g…
  • Thank you so much for the assistance. I'm sure it's all obvious when you know what exists and how it works, but not so easy to just work it out from what you see on the screen. A manual sure would be really helpful. last q if you have time tonigh…
  • Thanks. You were right - it was lurking in my library not in the folder. Caused by me making a mess of importing the original docs. Another perplexing thing - I found a couple of duplicates and want to merge them - but when I hit the merge option…
  • Thanks - here they are: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bda4f4hvq2snxtr/AACliXFtJzmNMVXXMEYRoAZba?dl=0
  • OK forget the note issue - mea culpa. I have never seen or used note based styles before, and missed the small ord (note) after them.
  • Sorry about not answering the question. I was simply trying to insert a reference - Can I upload some screenshots somehow. The two refrences look identical except for a few letters in the titles. However Zotero gives me either completely differen…
  • 1 - Weird - I refreshed and it went blue. 2 - the two docs are both reports. I downloaded both from the web. Initially I didn;'t understand that the reference and the document were separate, so I fiddled a bit - deleting, then creating a parent. …
  • Don't worry about the import - it is the least of my worries. I believe I have to downgrade to Mendeley v18 to do that - but too complex and Mendeley now takes an hour doing something - chasing an ever increasing number of tasks (got to 40,000) so …
  • Thanks, Not sure how to reply in line and sorry to have sounded cross but I have wasted my entire day on this (and mendeley). Getting stuff ourt off Mendeley is not Zotero's fault - it is, I gather, Mendeley's. So I didn't. I walked away from all…
  • Should have ended - can anyone give me a clue as to what I am missing. Thanks in Advance.
