Hi, I am really stuck. When I compile a document from Scrivener to ODT, then open the ODT in LibreOffice (LO), click on Document Preferences, select Chicago Manual of Style 17th edition (author date)

version => 5.0.56-beta.12+4b64cc312, platform => Linux x86_64, oscpu => Linux x86_64, locale => en-US, appName => Zotero, appVersion => 5.0.56-beta.12+4b64cc312, extensions => Zotero LibreOffice Integ

@dstillman Has in the past indicated general support for adding a "Insert selected references from Zotero" button to the Word/LibreOffice plugins, but no ETA on when that might be implemented.

scanned through Zotero 5, then opened in LibreOffice. From there, I set the citation style as Chicago (author, year), then as an output I can open in Word - .docx. I would really appreciate getting

version => 5.0.55, platform => Linux x86_64, oscpu => Linux x86_64, locale => en-US, appName => Zotero, appVersion => 5.0.55, extensions => Zotero LibreOffice Integration (5.0.14.SA.5.0.55, extension)

Each time I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've had to manually add the plug in because only Zotero LibreOffice comes up in the tools >add-ons> add-ons manager. (I know that I can do this properly b

No need to bother, I've just turned off Zotero AND LibreOffice, restarted both, and it's repaired.

What do you mean by that? Are you looking in the Extensions tab? You would have to at least see the LibreOffice extension listed for the LibreOffice option to show up in the preferences.

What exact versions of Zotero and LibreOffice are you using? What operating system?

I'm using the most recent LibreOffice with an updated Zotero, and I keep getting the following error message whenever I try and insert a citation. I would be very grateful for any advice as to how to

Microsoft Word 2016 is not available. Only LibreOffice is listed.

But I'm not entirely sure you want to use Zotero. Why not use JabRef if it performs favorably for your use-case? As @noksagt points out, Zotero is not primarily a BibTeX manager; I would go as far to

but for just switching to move between Word and LibreOffice you shouldn’t have any issues.

The use of master documents is quite common with Libreoffice/OpenOffice and recommended for writing complex documents like books, thesis and reports.
