Word 2016 for Macbook
I cannot get my Zotero account to synch with my Word 2016 to be able to cite references directly in my paper. I have tried reinstalling from the Preferences/Cite/Reinstall tab and nothing is showing up. Any suggestions?
I was referring to this part of the installation instructions: Copy the Zotero.dotm file to your Word Startup folder. I had done this already Manually. The file shows in the folder. When I restart, there is still no interface between Zotero and Word.
1. Go into Word Preferences -> Ribbon & Toolbar
2. Enable the Developer Tab and click Save
3. In the newly appeared Developer tab click Macros
4. Confirm whether the list of macros contains Zotero entries and whether ZoteroAddEditCitation produces a Zotero citation dialog?
It is not listed in Word Add-ins.
Do you run Windows or macOS? Which one is Zotero not working on properly?
I am running macOS
1. Go to
~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/User Content/Startup/Word
(you can press Cmd-Shift-G to open the path dialog)2. Remove Zotero.dot and Zotero.dotm in the directory if present
3. Open Word with a blank document. Go to Developer -> Word Add-ins. If Zotero.dotm (or Zotero.dot) entry is present, click on it and press the "-" at the bottom of the list, until the list is empty.
4. Close Word.
5. Put Zotero.dotm (how to find it described here) into
~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/User Content/Startup/Word
6. Start Word, confirm whether Zotero tab is present, and/or whether Zotero entry is present under Developer -> Word Add-ins.
