To those still experiencing this: could you download the Zotero Beta open it, then go into Zotero Preferences -> Cite -> Word Processors, reinstall the Word processor and see whether the issue is fixed after that?
@khepri As a test, could you open a new Word document, insert a citation, then using Word modify the citation text (just add a few random characters) and then try to edit the citation. Do you get a prompt about the citation text being edited, or an error?
If I modify the citation text and then try to edit the citation, I get a notice saying "You have modified this citation since Zotero generated it. Editing will clear your modifications. Do you want to continue?" If I click ok, it reverts to the original citation.
Ok, that's what you should see, thanks. If anybody else gives a shot at testing this do report whether it works and whether you can see the citation modified prompt.
Any update on this? I'm trying to run the Zotero plug-in for Word on a Macbook (M1) but I keep getting the "Run-time error 5". I'm using Word 16,52 for Mac and Zotero 5.0.96.3 Any news on this in the new update?
@SHOrozco The error is not likely M1 related. Did you try reinstalling the plugin from Zotero Preferences -> Cite -> Word Processors? If not, have you tried the Zotero Beta?
Yes, I have tried all solutions posted on this forum, including reinstalling both softwares, reinstalling the plug in and even Zotero Beta. Still same error.
