Citation not adding

DTSGrl11
I have a MacBook with Word. Plug-ins are added. Word document open. Insert Footnote. Zotero - Add Citation. Zotero pop-up window lets me select the book title and add the page number. Enter.
And ...nothing happens. SUPER frustrating. I want it in Turabian format, not classic.
Please advise.

    First of all provide some technical information:
    What version of Zotero and MS Word do you use?
    What citation style you use?

    Updated to the new Zotero. Word document open. Have a tab both for Zotero (> Add/Edit Citation) and Add-ins (click on first icon to add citation). Using either, the red box popup appears. Type to find source, select.
    IF I try to type in a page number and hit ENTER, nothing happens. I found that I need to type a comma, then a page number, then ENTER for the citation to insert.
    IF I open the Zotero popup and switch to classic view, I can select my source, put the page number in the box, and it will properly insert and format the footnote.

    To insert page numbers and affixes in the default mode, click on the blue bubble for the source (or type Ctrl/Cmd+Down) and enter in the appropriate fields.

    When you just start typing a number after selecting a reference, Zotero thinks you are searching for a year.

    (but both colon and comma also work, so there really are many fast ways to insert ampage number

    @bwiernik: Thanks for that tip!
