“[URGENT] Word could not communicate with Zotero (Mac)”

Hello,

I’ve been experiencing an issue with Zotero’s Word plugin recently. Previously, everything worked fine, but now I cannot insert citations or bibliographies in Microsoft Word.

Each time I try, I receive the following error message:“Word could not communicate with Zotero. Please ensure that Zotero is open and try again.”

I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps:

Restarting both Zotero and Word

Reinstalling Zotero

Disabling and re-enabling the Word plugin

Reinstalling the Word add-in from Zotero preferences

Unfortunately, the problem persists.

For reference:

Zotero version: 6.0.26



I would appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this issue.

Thank you in advance for your help.
