Standalone w/Windows 7 and MS Word 2010

maranga
Hi, I manage to install Zotero Standalone, and it syncs ok with my account, but I can´t start using it with MSWord. There is no button or function to insert citations in my documents.
Is there any extension or plugin that I have to install also?

Kind regards

    The Zotero plugin is in the "Add-Ins" flag of Word 2010 - are you sure it's not there?

    If so, see here:

    I´m using standalone, MSWord 2010 and Chrome. I don´t have any zotero menu or add inn in my options, only the standard reference options for Word.

    Follow the instructions I link to above.

    Also, just to make sure you're looking in the right place, look at the beginning of this video:
    http://research.library.gsu.edu/content.php?pid=24410&sid=175896
    to see where the toolbar should appear in Word (installing the plugin usually works in Word, that's why I want to be sure it's really not there.

    The instructions you link to are for users of the firefox plug-in. maranga is talking about using Standalone. There is no zotero.dot file that comes with Standalone (or I can't find it, it doesn't show up on windows search). Is it therefore impossible to use Zotero Standalone to insert citations into Word?

    Neeeeever mind. Spoke too soon! The bar appeared after re-start and the Zotero.dot file also appears in word (though i still can't find the actual file on the computer... might be hidden, but i don't really care at this point)
