Cannot install Microsoft Word Add-in
Hello,
When I try to link Zotero to Word by installing the Microsoft Word Add-in, I get this message:
"Zotero Word for Windows Integration. Installation could not be completed because an error occurred. Please ensure that Microsoft Word is closed, and then restart Zotero."
I have ensured Microsoft Word is closed. I have re-installed Zotero. Still no luck.
I can import items into my Zotero library but it is not connecting in anyway to Word.
I am using the Zotero standalone through Chrome trying to install the add-in for Word 2016, Windows 10.

Have you tried copying the link to the URL bar instead of clicking it?
But I'm not quite sure where we are with your problem at this point -- you are now able to look at the page above or not?
People will help you here, but you'll need to take the time to explain exactly what's happening. Please read through this page to understand how to report problems in a way that lets people help you.
When I go to the first link Adam posted above, I follow it to the pug in. But when I attempt to install the plug in, I get this message: "Safari can’t open the file “Zotero-MacWord-Plugin-3.5.14.xpi” because no available application can open it."
https://github.com/zotero/zotero-word-for-mac-integration/raw/master/install/Zotero.dotm (right-click --> Save link as)
Then try to follow steps 4-6 very closely, placing the dotm file in the Word Startup folder. If you run into trouble, come back here and report precisely what's not working, as you did in your last post.
Not sure about the two, either -- but you can likely disable one of them in Word's add-on settings if it bothers you.
For me: running Zotero as an administrator solved the problem. Hope it can help!
Well, the pasted link gave me the apt instructions to plug-in Zotero as add in:https://library.concordia.ca/help/citing/zotero/zotero_install_office_365.pdf
So excited to use Zotero in 365 Office!!
(Please note that the zotero.dotm file was looking like a word file!! And when I copy pasted it into the STARTUP folder, I could not see it; but it was copied) - Just in case you get stuck!! Besto!!
I checked out the link you had pasted - it is cool... However, it is not showing up and did not show up through the search engine!! It was ultimately another site that was helpful to me. I am glad and grateful.
But if you're ever having trouble with Zotero, just start a new thread here and we'll help you. There's no reason to struggle through things on your own. You need to read the information we provide, though — in this case the response would've been the same link to the same instructions that Adomas provided above. I assure you that if you had followed them, it would've fixed the problem in the exact same way.
