mac word 2011 plugin in not working with standalone?

gm2240
I cannot cite on MAC Office 2011. Please help.

    I am experiencing the same problem. I've re-installed the mac connector, but every time I go to cite something from the standalone, I'm told that "zotero cannot communicate" "please open firefox."

    Is there way to tell word to look at the standalone and not the firefox?
  • Simon
    We need an error report.
  • jmhuculak
    fixed by uninstalling "macconnector" in Firefox and "reinstalling" macconnector in the standalone.

    Can you see if this still happens if you open Standalone after closing Firefox? It sounds like the integrations ports are conflicting.

    @jmhuculak Having the same or a similar issue. How do you uninstall macconnector in Firefox? I just see a button to Re-install Word Addin.
  • ajlyon
    I believe what jmhuculak did was disable or remove the Mac Word integration from the Add-Ons window in Firefox.

    Standalone will add a citation to a new document, but returns this error message when I try to add citation to a document started with the Firefox add-on.

    [JavaScript Error: "syntax error" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/integration.js" line: 2009}]

    is that with any style?
  • TheCyberProf
    APA style on existing document. No style on new, test document.

    Now, new problem, no coins in Chrome.
  • TheCyberProf
    Sorry, I don't mean "coins", I mean the little Zotero markers that should appear to the right of the URL in the browser when things are working right.
  • adamsmith
    again, is that for all pages? NY Times, Amazon.com?
  • TheCyberProf
    Yes. No little markers on NYT or Times. No file folders with Google.

    What happens if you make a new document, add a citation using APA style, and then delete it and copy and paste the citations from the old document into the new one? (If this works, please save the old document.)
  • TheCyberProf
    Now I just get "Word can't communicate with Zotero" on a new blank document.

    Reinstalled stand-alone Z and it is now working smoothly.

    When I tried to add a citation to the older document I got error: "Zotero experienced error updating your document."

    However I added the citation to a new document (APA style) and then copied it to the old document without a problem.
