Zotero plug in for Word at Mac

TomaszSmyk

Hi, because there is no plug in for pages I am wondering if I could be using of full Zotero features when I install Word at Mac. In other words, is there a plug in for Word installed at Mac please? If so, could anyone please provide a link/info where I can get it?

fbennett

The Word for Mac plugin is here.

(Possibly the required Firefox versions recited in that page should be updated, since Zotero itself now requires Firefox version 31 or later.)

Yes, see here https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_installation

Many thanks guys. A quick question, I have only Safari... I rather do not feel like instal Mozilla, will it still work? I have a plug in for Zotero in my Safari and it works as it should. I am missing only a plug in for word at Mac for a proper creation of references. What do I need Firefox for then?

You have then Zotero Standalone and there "Word processor plugins are included with Zotero Standalone, and can be installed from the Zotero preferences."

You'll need Zotero Standalone. See https://www.zotero.org/download/ Word processor extension cannot be installed in Safari

TomaszSmyk

Yes guys you are right. I have standalone, I already installed a plug in for Safari. Works perfect. Now I think I'll need to install Word on my Mac and then a plug in for Word... I hope it will be fine as Zotero for me is very cool.

TomaszSmyk, how have you been able to instal the Word plug on Mac with Safari? I can't do it...and I don't feel like downloading Firefox. Pls advise, dziekuje

You need to run Zotero Standalone, which comes with the Word add-on installed. There is no such thing as a Zotero Word plugin for Safari.

I have already downloaded the Zotero, how to change it to 'standalone'...?
thanks much I am very confused

adamsmith

You should have two things downloaded:
Zotero Standalone and
Zotero Extension for Safari
Both are available from zotero.org/download
If you have both of them, it's possible, especially on non-English systems, that the Word plugin didn't install in the right place, but that'd be a separate issue.

kasiazinha

I have a problem with downloading the extension for safari, when I press 'install' I receive notification that is not possible...do you have any advice here? Thank you

adamsmith

what's the exact message that you're getting? And to be clear-you're clicking on the Safari icon on zotero.org/download , correct?

kasiazinha

I do click on the indicated one. first is: an error occurred. Then, when I try again I have: Safari can't open file Zotero Connector safariextz because the file has moved since you downloaded it.
One More problem I have is, that I don't have any Zotero in my Word programme.
Thank you

@kasiazinha: 1) Can you download and open any other file in Safari?, 2) Did you install the Word plugin from the zotero standalone version?

TomaszSmyk

Hi kasiazinha, I see that it seems to be more complicated than it should be. I did not have any problems with anything (safari extension as well as word plug in) In my threads up, there are clear indications of what should be downloaded.

Hey, I have a similar problem.
I installed Zotero standalone some months ago and I was using it with my open office- there were no problems. Now I got Microsoft Word 2011 and want to use Zotero with it, but there is no icon. Do I have to update Zotero, or how can I use it with word on my mac?

Thank you for answering
Julie

Install Word integration via Zotero Preferences -> Cite -> Word Processors

Juli Ende

Okay, I did as you wrote. But where is the Icon in Word now? I still can't find it.

Are you using Word 2008? If so, see https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/no_toolbar_in_word_2008_plugin
