The cite options windows has a drop-down list of the different locator types ("Page" is the default), and a text box in which you can enter the locator value (e.g. "4-7"). To cite a locator other than the ones listed (e.g., "Table), use the Suffix field. | The cite options windows has a drop-down list of the different locator types ("Page" is the default), and a text box in which you can enter the locator value (e.g. "4-7").

Prefixes and suffixes can be applied to each item in a citation to create complex citations. For example: "(see Smith 1776 for the classic example; Marx 1867 presents and alternate view)". Modifying citations by entering text into the Prefix and Suffix fields is always preferable to directly typing in the citation fields in Word. Manual modifications will prevent Zotero from automatically updating the citation. | Prefixes and suffixes can be applied to each item in a citation to create complex citations.

With author-date styles, authors are often moved into the text and omitted from the following parentheses-enclosed citation, e.g.: "...according to Smith (1776) the division of labor is crucial...". To omit the authors from the cite, check the "Suppress Author" box (this will result in a cite like "(1776)" instead of "(Smith, 1776)") and write the author's name ("Smith") as part of the regular text in your document. | With author-date styles, authors are often moved into the text and omitted from the following parentheses-enclosed citation, e.g.: "...according to Smith (1776) the division of labor is crucial...".
