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: [email protected] 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
