Zotero buttons in Word 2007 not there

mrkksl
A colleague of mine installed the Word 2007 plugins for Zotero but now can't find the command buttons on the Word toolbar. Are they initially hidden, or are they not there for some reason?

    if s/he has restarted her computer the other common reason is that the zotero.dot file has been put in the wrong startup folder for word - either by the automatic installer or by her/him during manual install.

    Find the startup folder and see if zotero.dot is in there:
    Word 2007: click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Word Options. Click Advanced. Under General, click File Locations. The Startup folder should be listed there.

    I installed and the command buttons is there, but not running.
    When try edit a citation or acces Document Preferences there is a runtime error 450 message.

    dranik - if I understand you correctly in another thread you're running Word 2003 on Wine in Ubuntu -
    that's most certainly not the same (or even a similar) issue to the one mentioned here - please
    a) don't crosspost (i.e. if you have posted something once, don't post it again somewhere else and
    b) don't hijack other people's threads - i.e. don't turn the discussion of the issues other people face into a discussion of the issues you face.

    I post by mistake at post with Word 2003.
    I have Word 2007.

    In 2007 first I can't find the command buttons on the Word toolbar, but I find after restart the computer.
    In 2007, when I try edit a citation give a message:

    ”Run-time error ”450”:
    Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignement”

    The same message is if I want refresh my citation or change the Document Preferences.

    First I try with:

    Word 2007
    Zotero 1.0.x
    Word plug in 1.0b.3

    In the second time I try with:

    Word 2007
    Zotero 2.0.Beta
    Word plug in 1.0b.4

    The error message is the same.

    What can I do?
  • adamsmith

    Hello guys, I am having the same exact problem. I already checked and the Zotero.dot file is there. Still no buttons in word 2007.
    -I have Office 2007 regular english version.
    -Windows 7
    - Zotero 2.0b7.2
    -Zotero WinWord Integration 3.0a2
    -Firefox Firefox/3.5.3

    I undsertand it should be Under Addins? I have refworks installed, and it does show up there, c'mon guys, trying to make the jump to zotero hehe..
  • Simon
    If you open the Zotero.dot file, do you see the Zotero buttons under Add-ins there?
  • javier
    Simon, thanks for your reply.
    I double clicked the file, it simply opened a blank document, still no buttons under Addins. But if I click the office button then go to WordOptions then addins, it is also listed right below Refworks, just cant find the button to actually use it :(
  • Simon
    javier, if you go to View->Macros in a new document, are there any macros starting with Z listed there? If so, can you run them?
  • javier
    Yes, there is a bunch of them. Some I could run, and some it told me that I needed to insert a citation before I used the macro.
