Any opportunity to have/create a unique identifier would be fantastic! (especially if tied to notes too) RTF Scan on {ID, pg} would be so simple for lone researchers, or collaborators savvy enough to use a common database. Further, somethi…

Oh yes! If you can please fix Chicago! Bravo!! I use the full note with bib. Many of us live and die by it, and its punctuation output has been messed up forever. Thank you! Thank you! Mark

Dan, yes, I did mean "Two separate Standalone processes running separate profiles." I won't try to detail why it would have been useful, but such functionality makes sense to me according to the ways in which I use Zotero. Anyhow, thanks much for yo…

Bump.

Bump.

Thanks Simon. I did not know where to look for that switch. It is not needed in Windows, apparently. At least I don't have my Windows profiles set up that way and the still work. I prefer, however, to work in Linux, and you have just made that …

Okay. I have managed to create two separate profiles. Is it possible to open both simultaneously? If I open one, I cannot open the other. I am in Ubuntu 11.10. My command files are: (1) zotero -P profileone (2) zotero -P profiletwo Thx, …

Thank you Simon!

I'd still like to select different profiles at startup. Mark

Thanks for the tip Adam. I will try that. My doc is not complex, so I will probably lose nothing of importance as far as formatting goes. Thx, Mark

Thanks! Mark

Oops. We're back on this again. I discovered the issue. If I enter "place" of publication as: Grand Rapids, Mich. [abbrev + period] Then I get no colon separating the place and publisher. If I omit the period after the state abbreviation, then all…

Adam, thanks for looking at this. Sorry for the delay. I just loaded Ooo 3.3.0, because I was having hanging issues (with Firefox/Zotero/Ooo). Was not trying to avoid testing your fix, but colons are now correct. Perhaps the older Ooo was culprit. D…

Windows XP SP3, Firefox 4 here. Mark

Thanks for responding so quickly! Best, Mark

Adam, I see this thread is still going. I have been watching it with great interest for some time now. The title is wrong. What we want is: MERGE MULTIPLE NOTE NUMBERS INTO A SINGLE NOTE NUMBER. Let me take a shot at explaining it, since I researc…

I got it! Had to set firefox to UTF-8 in both firefox profiles. I also set Zotero manually for UTF-8 as well. I should have studied a little harder before posting. I just panicked, I suppose. Thx, Mark

Workaround. BTW, the problem exists in Openoffice under Linux as well as under M$. Clearly, the footnote view/editor is crippled. If you have a lengthy note, customary in some disciplines, a good portion of it can become buried in the edit/view win…

Cut and paste the contents of your document into a new document and see if that does the trick. I have had to resort to this once or twice under similar circumstances. There is also a reload option for the OO interface; you might try that. In Firefo…

Still trying to figure this out. Is it possible that my problem is a screen resolution problem, as it does not appear many, if any, have the problem I have noted? Perhaps it is simply that few disciplines require documents with lengthy footnotes? In…
-
Adam, sorry for the delayed response: I have indicated below how I believe the series editors should appear. Maybe a Chicago Geek will double-check, proof that, before it's activated. Bib Entry: Guelzo, Allen C. Foreword to Charles G. Finney and …
-
Yeah, it's not a linux issue. Like Dan finally figured out from my cryptic jabbering, it's a universal problem when you drag a note into a word processor. Mark
-
Mike, I have found that ATLAs thru EBSCO can be cranky with Zotero. (1) Save the desired items to your EBSCO folder. (2) Open your ebsco folder and select the items you want to export to Zotero. (3) Click the export icon; it has a big fat green arr…

Note that I realized the error in my explanation of the problem and edited it by adding an underlined correction. I did this prior to realizing Dan had responded to the original version which lacked the underlining. Sorry Dan. Mark
-
Thanks, Dan, for taking time to read my post. Yes, the "problem" is that if I drag more than one note to OpenOffice Writer, I get tons of html (or RTF?) codes in the text--and I lose all my bold, italic, etc. Actually, the "problem" occurs if I "dra…
-
Discovered Workaround. Enter string "zzz" as last entry in every note. Create report from selected notes. Save as html. Open in Word. Search/Replace zzz with page break. Copy/Paste into Openoffice 3x5 Template. Print. This is good. It would still b…
-
Perhaps inconvenient, cumbersome, resource-prohibitive. Is impossible, however, the most accurate term in this case?
-
Thanks Simon. Problems: (1) In the edit citation popup window, I cannot see the entire note if it is long. (2) If you toggle between single/multiple sources, the popup window gets larger and larger. (3) Any addition of sources, even in a not…
-
Adam, It does not seem that you are using the same version of Zotero as I. I wonder if its behavior might be dramatically different across varying systems.
-
Adam: (1) With prefix/suffix, you can't see what you typed in if you need to add lots of info in the note. (2) If you are building a document, sometimes you need to rearrange the order of authors cited in the footnote as you add new informati…
