-==== References appearing in the wrong font in Word/Ooo ====

-The Word-processor plug-in formats the citations and the paragraph they are inserted in using your "default" (Open Office) or "Normal", "Standard" (Word) formatting. For many people this means that inserting a citation using Zotero will remove formatting such as indents, line-spacing, font size, etc. from an entire paragraph.
-You can fix this by adjusting the standard/default format in your word processor.
+===== References appear in the wrong font in Word/LibreOffice =====
-To change this (in Word 2003), under 'Format' and then 'Font', there is a button on the bottom of the window called 'Default'.
+The word processor plug-ins apply the "default" (LibreOffice/OpenOffice) or "Normal"/"Standard" (Word) style to generated citations and the paragraph in which they are inserted. The bibliography is rendered in a different style - "bibliography". As a result, inserting a citation with Zotero can remove formatting (such as indents, line-spacing, font size, etc.) from an entire paragraph and the citation can appear in an unwanted font or format. You can correct the formatting by adjusting the standard/default style (for citations) and the bibliography style (for the bibliography) in your word processor.
-Prior to clicking the button, select the font and the size you want all text to appear, and then click the 'Default' button, and lick 'yes' to confirm.  This is now the standard for all new text, including Zotero citations and bibliography.
+==== Solutions ====
+=== Word 2002 & 2003 ===
+If your styles and formatting toolbar is open (it is a pull-down menu with a list of labels such as "Normal", "Body Text", "Heading 1") you can simply right-click on the "Normal" or "Bibliography" style and format it. Otherwise, select "Styles and Formatting" from the Formatting toolbar or the Format Menu. See [[http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HP051895621033.aspx|here]] for the official Microsoft instructions, and [[http://www.ctl.calpoly.edu/tech/tutorials/Access_Word2003Styles/access_word2003styles.html|here]] for a longer guide with screenshots.
-If you use Word formatting styles, Zotero citations will show up in the default Word style (usually 'Normal').
+=== Word 2007 ===
+In the "Home" Tab, first click on "Font" tab and choose the font and font-type you want to use and select "default" on the bottom of the window. You can change paragraph formatting (such as line spacing, indents, etc.) by doing the same on the "Paragraph" tab. There is also a "Styles" tab, where you can modify the "Normal" and the "Bibliography" style. See  [[http://www.lostintechnology.com/how-to/how-to-change-the-default-settings-in-microsoft-word-2007|here]] for a guide with screenshots.
-In OpenOffice, open the styles manager in 'Format' > 'Styles and Formatting' or by hitting F12. Right click on “Default”, select 'Modify', and make the desired changes to this style.
+=== LibreOffice/OpenOffice ===
+In LibreOffice, open the styles manager in "Format" --> "Styles and Formatting" or by hitting F11 (F12 in OpenOffice). Right click on "Default" or "Bibliography", select "Modify", and make the desired changes to this style.
