This page describes how I installed and used the Zotero web tool for citations. I used this for the NAR2015 publication. KRR

  • Restarted FF and browsed to a few articles, clicked on article icon in search entry box to add them to lib.
  • In Zotero app, went to Preferences->Cite->Styles, then clicked '+'. Selected file I had saved.

(Now I see that from the 'Get Additional Styles' link you can get NAR, without what I did in previous step. Fooled me -- I had previously looked there for 'Chemical Abstracts', which isn't there).

  • Restart Word. There's a little menu attached at the upper left. You can insert a citation there

(picking NAR style) to your doc and it will show up as an inline ref. There's an 'insert bibliography' that spits out the references. And if you re-order things, a 'Refresh' will renumber. NOTE: if you don't see this menu, there's a scroll glyph with a drop-down menu...

It takes a few minutes to figure out where/what the little menu icons are for the client and word plug-in.
