Zotero Word Integration

edited May 1, 2017
Hello,

When I use Zotero with Microsoft Office 2016, it either stalls Word or says that Zotero can't be found. I found that the issue was related to where I keep Word 2016. I put all my Office locations in another folder called "Office & Productivity". Zotero only looks for Word 2016 in /Applications and /Applications/Microsoft Office 2016. Is there a way to select a different directory to look in or preference file to configure?

Thanks,

  • It seems like you are describing several different things here. What exactly are you doing in Word (clicking on a Zotero button, etc.) and what is the error message you are receiving?
  • In Word when I click on any of the Zotero buttons it causes Word to stall to a point that you have to force quit Word. When I move Word to /Applications, Word doesn't stall anymore and Zotero displays the proper dialog or inserts the citation.

    The extension is having a hard time dealing with the "&" symbol in "Office & Productivity". The short fix for now is to change that to "Office and Productivity", but there is going to be a proper fix sometime down the line.
  • When I tested the "and" instead of the "&" it worked. Do you know when you will have a fix available?
