Re: [libreoffice-users] copy and paste zotero citations within writer document

This is most likely due to the citation style referring to unique data in the bibliography; copying text between documents cannot update the bibliography database (sqlite?) that zotero uses to store references. This action poses the question: why are you copying text from elsewhere? Isn't this plagiarism? ;) What is the type of originating document? Is there any setting in LibreOffice that will take care of this? Doubtful. Using a word processor for technical documentation including formal citations is a very bad idea; it is simply a poor tool for the job. m$ is terrible, LO not much better. Nothing comes close to the LaTeX/BibTeX paradigm; use it, perhaps with LyX as the word-processor style of interface. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] copy and paste zotero citations within writer document
I'm using LibreOffice 3.4.3 with Zotero 2.1.10, Zotero OpenOffice.org Integration 3.5b1 extension and FireFox 7.0.1 on Kubuntu 11.04. If I copy text containing citations and paste it within an existing document, the fields are lost so the citations just become plain text. Then if I change the citation style, citations in the pasted text are not updated. So, after pasting I have to go re-insert every citation in the pasted text. If I cut and paste, citations are preserved as fields. According to the Zotero Forums, http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/5524/cut-and-paste-work-but-copy-and-paste-doesnt, the issue is with the way OpenOffice.org / LibreOffice handles fields and there is nothing Zotero can do about it. The only work around is to save the document in word format and use word bookmarks instead of LibreOffice ReferenceMarks. Is there any setting in LibreOffice that will take care of this?
