Subject: Word Document Becomes Unusable When Zotero Plugin is Active - Major Workflow Disruption
I'm experiencing a critical issue with the Zotero Word plugin that is severely impacting my ability to work with documents.
Problem Description:
When Zotero is added to a Word document, I cannot open or use the document properly. The plugin appears to cause the document to become unresponsive or unusable, forcing me to completely deactivate the plugin just to access my work.
Impact on Workflow:
This creates an extremely frustrating workflow where I have to:
Deactivate the Zotero plugin every time I want to work with a document
Reactivate it only when I need to add citations
Repeat this process constantly throughout my writing process
This back-and-forth is not only time-consuming but makes Zotero impractical for regular use in long-form writing projects.
System Information:
macOS version: Sequoia 15.5
Microsoft Word version:16.97
Zotero version: 7
Error code 4707 in Microsoft Word on Mac is often caused by conflicts with add-ins, particularly Adobe Acrobat and Zotero. It can also be triggered by corrupt startup templates. A common fix is to disable or remove conflicting add-ins, including those related to Adobe PDFMaker
Request:
This issue makes the Zotero Word integration essentially unusable for productive writing. I need a reliable solution that allows me to keep Zotero active in my documents without compromising Word's basic functionality.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Are there known workarounds or fixes in development?
