How to install word processor for zotero 4.0 for chrome

hongha308
Hello everyone,

I really want to use zotero because it's free. I have just installed zotero for chrome. But I can't install word processor for zotero 4.0 for chrome. I just find setup file for word processor for firefox.

Could you help me with this problem?

Thanks a lot.

    install Zotero standalone - as zotero.org/download says, the standalone version includes the Word plugin

    Firstly, thanks a lot for your answer.

    So I don't need to install word plugin, do I.

    However, when I cite in word, a message like this appear
    " word couldn't communicate with Zotero. Please ensure Firefox is running and try again".

    And I don't know what is the problem.

    Have you installed Zotero Standalone, and restarted Word after?

    Yes, I've installed Zotero Standalone. Its icon also appeared in my desktop. I can collect data to build bibliography. But the problem happen when I cite.

    Close Word and then try reinstalling the Word plugin from the Cite pane of the Zotero Standalone preferences.

    I've tried to reinstall google chrome and then zotero standalone 4.0.
    But it doesn't work. I don't know why word 2007 can't communicate to zotero. The computer require me to ensure that firefox is running. However, I don't use firefox, I just use google chrome.

    I don't know what is the problem.

    Could you help me?

    Dear Dan Stillman, could you show me how I can find the word plugin from the cite pane of the Zotero Standalone preferences? In fact, I'm not very good at information technology.
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Open Preferences in Zotero Standalone. Go to Cite. In the Word Processors tab you will see two large buttons. Click the one that says Install Microsoft Word Add-in
