A short term work around is to use Zotero with Word and then upload the Word doc to G-docs but the formatting of the Word doc (not zotero refs) gets messed up that way. Any ideas as to what is going on here?ĭrag and drop still seems to work in MS Word but as all of our students are using G-docs these days for easier peer reviews of written work, Zotero drag and drop for G-docs is a must. Apply a Style Google Docs comes with several default styles for normal text, titles, subtitles, and several headings. Then go to Format > Paragraph Styles > Options > Save as my default styles to change default font in Google Docs. Even my old PowerMac G5 no longer has a drag and drop with Zotero to G-docs. I also recently got a new Macbook Pro, installed Firefox and Zotero on it yesterday and got the same result - no drag and drop into G-docs.
#G DOCS DEFAULT STYLES DOWNLOAD#
This was on Windows computers with Firefox 3.6 with a new download and installation of the latest Zotero straight from the Zotero page. I presumed this was an installation problem with Firefox or something but this week so ignored it but the same thing happened this week in the room I have used many times last year without any problems. I needed to get special permission to get one room of computers installed with Firefox and again during the demo nothing happened - the entries were not put into G-docs. Open the template or a document based on the template whose default settings you want to change.
For example, the margins for new blank documents are based on the Normal template. For example the Menu Item style is imported into other styles like Dropdown or Accordion-Menu and so on. Styles are re-usable and thus can be imported in other styles.
That uni does not even have Firefox installed. Changing the default margins in any template means that the margin settings are used in every new document that is based on that template. You can still write whatever you want in the label of the DEFAULT style, just have at least one style with the ID named DEFAULT as a fallback.
This is the 2nd time this has happened in a demo recently as it happened at another university when I was demoing Zotero a couple of weeks ago. And nothing happened! The entries were not exporting into the G-doc and the G-doc was left with a blank page. I finish with me opening Zotero again, highlighting lots of entries I have just imported and then just simply dragging and dropping them into a Google Doc with the audience seeing Zotero automatically alphabeticising and formatting the entries into the Google Doc. Usually I do a few demos of Zotero each semester at the universities where I teach.
