Zotero 5.0.96 fixed one major cause of this — it shouldn't have caused it.
@arshiasobhan: What's the full error that you're getting? There should be a debug button that lets you open the Visual Basic console, which should show you the line where the error is occurring. Can you paste that in?
OK, @adomasven will need to look into this. I'm not sure why the debug button is grayed out, but I suspect we'll need to figure out how to get that enabled for you — something related to VBA in Word — in order to troubleshoot this further.
Hi I am getting the exact same error including debug being grayed out and it is ruining my life.
I just reported the error through zotero. Report ID: 440810759.
I'm running: MacOS Big Sur v11.2.1 Microsoft Word for Mac 16.46
I downloaded the file and ran the above command from the terminal. The citing operation window opened and it worked for adding one citation. I am in the same document and went to add another citation and it didn't work. I can't run that code for every citation.
Also, as you'll see in the error report I am currently working with the Big Sur beta as I thought maybe that was the problem. I had the same error from both the newest version of Zotero and when reverting to the beta.
@stubbsrl If you download this old Zotero.dotm file, place it in the Word startup folder, which should be ~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/User Content/Startup/Word and restart Word, does the plugin work?
OK, thanks. We've released Zotero 5.0.96.1, which fixes this problem. (It won't make a difference for you now, since it just switches back to that older template file.)

The full error is: Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument.
The Debug button is there, but it is disabled.
