Zotero footnote formatting

EDIT: this is not a Scrivener issue, so I TRIED to change the default font for footnotes in LibreOffice. I haven’t managed to, but anyway…

Hi,

My problem is slightly different. Not sure if it has its place here of if I should create a new thread. I have set the footnotes to font 10 in compile to .rtf, and it works, then I save a copy of that .rtf to an .odt. Still no problem.
BUT when I run an ODF scan with Zotero, it suddenly changes all my footnotes to font 12.
This is the workflow I use because there is no Scrivener/Zotero compatibiilty.
Does anyone know how I could do things differently.
I really have no idea what is causing this.

Thank you

Moved to a new topic as this is not a Scrivener support question.

LibreOffice uses Footnote and Footnote Anchor+Character styles for footnotes, try editing those styles after ODF scan is finished?

Note that unfortunately, Zotero 7 is not compatible with ODF scan, and so do not upgrade Zotero, or if you do you will need to switch to using BetterBibTeX for making the bibliography…

Thank you very much! I will try this.

ODF scan is what allowed me to write my whole PhD thesis on Scrivener. I really don’t see how I could have worked without it. As you say, this is going to force me to stay with Zotero 6, even if Zotero 7 has major improvements.
There is an ongoing discussion on one of the forums, though, and I sure hope that RTF/ODF scan will be available in the future… :slight_smile:

If you get any news on ODF Scan please let us know, I try to keep the Scrivener + Zotero FAQ (Using Scrivener with reference software (wiki)) up-to-date but as i’m not a Zotero user I don’t always know the latest developments…

Thank you for your work. It is essential to a significant number of us, I believe!
