Mac Office 2016 Zotero 5 Addin doesn't appear
Hi folks,
i have read a ton of manuals and workarounds but i don't get the "Add-ins" tab shown.
I installed the newest Zotero version and i am using Mac Word 2016.
The *.dotm is in the correct folder (see screenshot #1) and is activated automatically when Word is started.
But i don't see an "Add-in" Tab with Zotero Buttons.
I tried also the zotero.dot file, but this does also not work.
If i trigger the zotero macros manually via Macro List (screenshot #2), it works.

I also tried to reinstall the "MS Word Addin" in the Zotero Settings several times.
Thank you for your help

If you open the Customize Ribbon tab, do you see the Zotero icons in the “All commands” list?
You could try these recommendations by Microsoft, reinstall the Zotero plugin and see if the Tab appears.
You can awkwardly access Zotero macros by going into Word Preferences -> Ribbon and enabling the Developer tab, then in the Developer tab clicking Macros.
So I tried removing the files normal.dotm for all listed again in the same locations, then restarted the computer again, and prior to opening either Zotero or Word went to see if the files were still present - and they were present, again in the same location (file normal.dotm). So despite deleting it, emptying the trash and removing all of the other files as recommended, somehow Word is bypassing it and re-installing the template file normal.dotm. Are there other plist files that need to be removed or any way to prevent this from re-installing the normal.dotm files?
One more thing. If you open Zotero.dotm itself with Word, do you get the Zotero tab then?
So for, I still have no Zotero tab when I open Mac Word 2016 on my MacBook Pro. However, I haven't, as I said, tried renaming or removing the other Users files you listed. I am also not sure how to open Zotero.dotm from within Word itself. Would you be willing to provide instructions?
Thank you!

To find zotero.dotm see the first part of manual installation instructions.
Any other ideas?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I did exactly what was precise here : https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_manual_installation
Then I closed everything and miraculously I could re-install my Zotero Word Mac integration!! (tool>extension)
Hope It'll help
