Word add-in and OneDrive
Hi all,
I have been having a problem where I am unable to use the Word add-in to add or edit citations for a document that is saved in my OneDrive folder (even when the document is stored locally on my computer). If I copy the exact same document into any other folder (e.g. my Dropbox folder) I have no problems. Using Word 365 ProPlus Version 1809 and Zotero Standalone 5.0.56 if that makes a difference.
A bit of googling suggests that this was a problem in the past (e.g. this thread: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/41885/ms-word-2013-plugin-stopped-working-in-single-document/) but there are also recent threads which suggest it should no longer be a problem (e.g. this one https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/72263/how-to-use-zotero-with-word-online-onedrive)
Can someone confirm whether or not this problem has been resolved in general (and therefore whether my issue is something different or more unusual)? Is there anything I can do to fix or workaround this? Or do I simply have to accept that I can't use OneDrive and should stick to saving my work in Dropbox (or other providers)?

(There's a good chance we can't do anything about this, since this seems like a lower-level problem between Word and OneDrive, but I've created an issue to track it.)
