Do you get any error prompt or anything at all in Word when clicking on the extension? You should check macro security settings in Word and make sure that Macros are allowed, at least for add-ins.
Maybe it has something to do the fact that I am using a different computer (as my old vista wasn't working anymore) - so maybe I am missing something that was on my C-drive? [my data are on an external drive).
I see the Zotero icon in Word, so the add-on is installed, but it doesn't respond when I click it (no prompt).
As far as I can see my macro's are enabled (I have tried' anable all macro's' & 'Disable all macros except digitally signed macros ') and also the add-ins.
I am working on an article, so this problem is kind of urgent.
Right, well this really sounds like Word not running Macros at all. If you enable the Developer tab under Word Options -> Customize Ribbon, then go into Developer tab and click Macros, do you see Zotero entries? Do those work?
If you click Visual Basic in Developer Tab, then double-click "ThisDocument" in the sidebar, type Sub Test() MsgBox "Test" End Sub , then go back to the document, click Macros and run "Test", do you get a message box with "Test" written in it?
When you open a new document with word, do you get a popup or a notification bar at the top asking to enable macros? Do you get the same message in a new document if you go via the Macros dialog?
There's add-in specific settings for macro settings in the office trust centre, but at least with Word 2013 they seem to be ignored for some reason and I am not sure what the situation is with Word 2010. The add-on specific options work fine with Word 2016.
If you disable them with a notification, you will at least get the notification to enable them upon opening Word each time, but I don't think the notification specifies what you are enabling and just enables all macros. But if you don't intend on using Zotero you could ignore it in that case.
Upgrade Storage
My versions:
-Zotero 4.0.29.22
-Word 2010
-Windows 10
- Firefox 55.03
I have reinstalled the wordplugin version for Zotero 4.0.
Has something changed? Do I need to upgrade to Zotero 5.0?

I have done so this several times & restarted firefox and word - it doesn't solve the problem.

Could you run through manual installation instructions? You will have to find the word extension in your [Firefox_profile_dir]/extensions.
I have checked 'Disable all macros except digitally signed macros' in the trustcenter.
This is strange, because I tried this before.
But I don't really like having all macro's enabled.... Any solution?
