LibreOffice extension

debchatterjee · February 1, 2022

I am using LibreOffice version 7.2.5.2 installed by default with Zorin 16. I installed Zotero using the software centre that comes with Zorin. Unfortunately, the Zotero extension doesn't show up on LibreOffice. I went through the instructions at https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_manual_installation.

In particular, I can't locate extensions/zoteroOpenOfficeIntegration@zotero.org/install in the .zotero folder in Zorin.

Any guidance will be much appreciated. Thanks.

The .zotero folder isn't the installation folder.

Thanks a lot. I could locate the installation folder and Zotero_OpenOffice_Integration.oxt file. On double clicking this file, I got an error message in LibreOffice regarding some Java files missing. As this was beyond my comprehension, I decided to uninstall LibreOffice and then install the earlier version (7.1.8). On installing this version, Zotero integration works out of the box. So it was an issue with LibreOffice version 7.2.5.2.

Thanks a lot for the help.
