  • Try installing the next Zotero version (which has come out since), see if that helps.
    Also, does this happen in a new document, too?
    Finally, make sure you're running Word and Zotero with the same user account (rather than, e.g., one as an administrator and one with a regular account).
  • It works with Zotero Standalone 4.20
  • Hi, I have the same problem with Zotero for Firefox 4.0.20.2.
    It happens even in new document.
    I tried to reinstall Zotero and MS Word plugin, but the problem prevail.
    Thanks for any help.

  • I have the same error using Word 2010, Firefox 37.02 and the latest greatest zotero. I've tried uninstall and reinstalling zotero serveral time and even doing the same for word. I can use the stand alone product but would totally prefer to be based in my browser. Is there any update on the cause and a fix?

  • can you help me change compatibility mode of word?
  • i'm having same error - report id 2019533082, microsoft 2013 (365) with zotero v. 4.0.26.4
  • I encountered this problem a lot of times. In Win7 (windows 7) you need to run zotero as administrator:
    1. right click Zotero in the "Start menu" and click "Properties"
    2. In the "Compatibility" tab and check the box "Run .. as administrator"
    3. That's it!
  • that shouldn't be necessary and you shouldn't run software as administrator -- though this suggests that you my be running Word on a different account (Zotero and Word need to run on the same account in Windows), in which case you'd want to fix that.
