Word Mac Plugin for Dummies

SBarren
Dear All,
I am becomming desperate.
Can somebody explain - for really really dumb people - how to install Zotero 5.0 properly (Standalone is working, word plugin IS NOT) on a Mac with word 2016 (365 university edition)...

Please help me!

    Please describe in detail what you expect and what's instead happening, and what you have attempted. Generally installation of word processor plugins should work by going into Zotero Preferences -> Cite and clicking on the relevant Install button.

    Thanks, adomasven! That worked perfectly. The other problem is, that the shortcuts that I used in office 2011 are not working in the newer version. Is that also my fault?

    It’s possible that Word didn’t transfer your keyboard shortcuts over from one installation to another. You can re-set the shortcuts in the Customize Ribbon dialogue.
  • adomasven
    Follow custom Mac Word 2016 keyboard shortcut instructions. To locate Zotero actions select "Macros" under Categories and search for "Zotero"
  • bwiernik
    You can also find the Zotero macros by looking under "All Commands" and looking for Add/Edit Citation, Add/Edit Bibliography, Refresh, Document Preferences, and Unlink Citations.

    @bwiernik this does not apply to Mac word. You cannot set keyboard shortcuts in Customize Ribbon, and Zotero commands are not available under All Commands.

    @SBarren please see my instructions linked above.
