Thanks - problem solved. I had some items I'd imported that weren't syncing properly, and apparently that was preventing other items from syncing properly. I just wanted to know if snapshots were *supposed* to be syncing; now I know that they are, a…

Aha. I see there's a new version (7). Downloaded and installed it, and it works as you said. Nice to have that as an alternative method. I'll see which is more efficient for me. Thanks!

By "Quick Format Citation" dialog are you referring to the long white box outlined in red that pops up when you click on "Add/Edit Citation" in Word? That doesn't list any items until you start entering text. And it doesn't list any item that doesn'…

Not sure what you mean. I looked up Quick Copy in the documentation, and it seems to mean (1) being in Zotero, selecting a citation, and hitting Ctl-Shift-C, then going to your Word document and pasting the citation, or (2) having windows for both Z…

Aha. Thanks.

Right - I appreciate your willingness to suggest stuff. I would in principle like to try to make Statute work, because some day I might want to differentiate those items from other things just labeled Document. But I found that labeling them "Statut…

Aha. I think I have discovered the problem. It's a disambiguation function. Suppose I cite John Smith for Article X in fn 5 and the same guy for Article Y in fn 7. In fn 10, I cite Smith, Article X again. All the footnote needs to do is to point to …

Thanks - so does every style define somewhere what to do with any item type whose output format is not specifically defined? Or is it somehow baked into Zotero so they don't need to do it? I'm just curious how Zotero knows what to do with some item …
-
If that would work, I would have tried it. I have not found an alternative item designation that gives me the information I want in the form I want. "Statute" is not at all a good fit when dealing with Chinese legislation. I won't go into all the re…
-
In other words, as far as the information in the "Short Title" field is concerned, I want the style to treat Documents the same way it treats Books and Journal Articles: ignore it. It's not needed in OSCOLA, because OSCOLA, in subsequent citations, …
-
Thanks! Can I suggest someone edit the documentation, then? The documentation says that the default is that it will perform this clean-up, but when I go to advanced settings, it's "False" that is labeled "Default", whereas "True" is labeled as "Modi…

Thanks!

I think I just found it by searching only for "suffix". Problem solved, I think.
-
Sorry, everything I put in angle brackets got suppressed in the above comment. I didn't realize the system did that. Let me try again. You suggested some changes in a series of instructions beginning with the words "layout prefix". I could not find…

In the linked thread, the original poster complained that Zotero was NOT putting in a terminal period. "dmichon" then said, "This is NOT an error." He/she noted that "there many situations where you don't want a period, but a comma, or a semi-colon,…

Many thanks! On the comma in "supra" citations, here's a footnote from a recent Harvard Law Review article (Ahmed et al., "The Making of Presidential Administration"): https://s3.amazonaws.com/zotero.org/images/forums/u968689/bv1ekl22uavdw9diwpd3.…

Right. I was just wondering if they fit within Zotero's definition of the term. So if I unsync "attachment files", I can save myself space on the Zotero server, right? I don't need the snapshots there; I always access them from my laptop's hard driv…
-
Can I disable the way Zotero uses "Short Title"? I like to have a short code for my own purposes that I use to refer to references (e.g., Smith 2021) when I'm writing. But of course I then need to find what item I was referring to. I could write "Sm…
-
Thanks for your explanation of the "Short Title" field and its function. I see I've been using it the wrong way, and understand why you can't sort by it. But I guess that since I have used quick-and-dirty abbreviations for my sources (to use as plac…
-
Or have I misunderstood how "Short Title" is supposed to work?
-
No, it wouldn't start just like Title at all. If the source is Henry Kissinger, World Order, then it's going to be with the W's in the title list, but the short title (at least in many citation systems) is going to be "Kissinger 2014" (or something …
