If you open a DOCX file in Nota Bene that has Zotero citations, you will be given the opportunity to convert the citations to Ibidem citations. The process includes the importation of the documents' citations from Zotero databases into the user’s Ibidem database.
| 1 | Open Ibidem and open the database to which you wish to add the records. In most cases, you will want to import to your main bibliographic database. If you do not have a database that you previously created, you can import the records to the My Library database and use that as your personal database. |
| 2 | Return to the Nota Bene word processor, and open the DOCX file. See Open DOCX file. |
| 3 | With a preliminary conversion of the document on screen, the message will appear: “This document contains Zotero citatons” and asks if you wish to select the (Ibidem) database for the imported records. Click Yes. |
| 4 | The dialog will appear to select the Ibidem database to receive the imported records (you may save your selection as the default). Select the database and click OK. |
| 5 | A message will appear indicating the Total Zotero citations found in the file, the Unique Zotero records identified, and the Number of (new) records imported. Note that the system is smart enough to skip the importation of records already in the user’s database. |
| 6 | You will see the imported records in the Ibidem database you selected to receive them, you may need to click on the Refresh Database button for the citation(s) to show in Ibidem’s Table View. |
Note: During this process, you may receive a message that your Ibidem database is locked (this is done for safety reasons). Simply click to agree to unlock the database for the importation process to continue.
