Zotero Add In Word 2016 and Chrome
Hello,
I am having trouble integrating Zotero in my Word 2016 since I use the Zotero extension for Google Chrome. The articles on the Zotero website are helpful in implementing a World 2016 add in if you use Zotero with Firefox, but since I use Zotero with Google Chrome I do not know how to find the Google Chrome specific Zotero.dot file to put in the Word Startup folder.
(this article showed how to find the Zotero.dot file for Firefox, which worked for me, but it was not helpful since I don't use Firefox to find my articles https://www.zotero.org/support/windows_word_plugin_manual_installation_instructions#manually_installing_the_zotero_word_for_mac_2016_plugin)
Thank you in advance for your help!

I can save files from Chrome to the Zotero standalone no problem. My problem is then putting the files from Zotero program into Word.
The instructions do mention that finding the Zotero Standalone profile works exactly parallel to the Firefox instructions, but in any case, you can download Zotero.dotm from here:
https://github.com/zotero/zotero-word-for-mac-integration/blob/master/install/Zotero.dotm
And in Zotero Standalone under Tools --> Add-ons, does the Word add-on show as installed and active?

Yes, the Word add on "Zotero Word for Mac Integration" is enabled (3.5.14.SA.4.0.29.15, last updated 10/3/16).
{ ls ~/.zoteroIntegrationPipe ; ls /Users/Shared/.zoteroIntegrationPipe* ; ls ~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Word/Data/.zoteroIntegrationPipe ; } | cat
and paste the output here? You can star out (***) your username in the output if that is sensitive.
/Users/Shared/.zoteroIntegrationPipe_****
ls: /Users/****/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Word/Data/.zoteroIntegrationPipe: No such file or directory
dhcp-v113-074:~ ****
/Users/****/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Word/Data/
Either because the directory has restrictive permissions or Zotero is running in some sort of sandboxed mode. You can submit a Debug ID for a restart. You should check "Enable after restart" for debug logging and submit a Debug ID after restarting such that Zotero captures the trace of failing to initialise the communication pipe.
Thank you!

.If that doesn't help and this is an unusual recommendation, but reinstalling Standalone might help.
Alternatively, you could consider switching to the upcoming Zotero 5.0 Beta, which we'll release very soon and which has improved logging for such issues and a fresh UI for the citation interface in Word.
The error states "Zotero experienced an error updating your document. (intermediate value)[command] is not a function"
