I wrote a paper for Hist 811 that is basically the bulk of Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of the dissertation. Copy from LibreOffice The first issue to run across is to put your existing documents into scrivener. Copy existing documents with footnotes into Scrivener. From there, it’s easy to create Zotero connected footnotes. The Process Here I will try to outline the process I found that will save footnotes from existing documents into Scrivener, and Scrivener created footnotes into exported documents. I don’t usually do that with software (as you can see, I like free and open source). Should work the same.: The greatest writing software I’ve seen. I’m using the stand alone version, but you can use the Firefox extension as well. The steps will be basically the same if you are using Microsoft Word, just substitute that program for LibreOffice when it comes to it.: I’m certainly biased, but Zotero is the greatest citation management software evar! Also free and open source. Who knows how long I will have access to free Microsoft Word? LibreOffice (the fork of OpenOffice) will always be free and freely available.

Zotero scans through and replaces those odd pieces of code with citations in a new version of the document. The Tools: Free and Open Source document software.
