I can't get the Zotero.dotm to work with Word for Mac.

jordanadesigns
I see the zotero.dotm in macros when I open word but can't get the program to work! Please help. I've loaded it 100 times. Searched for the startup file, can't find it. I added zotero.dotm every way possible and it won't work.

    I followed your directions for adding Zotero to Microsoft Word 2016 for Mac. I can't get the Zotero icons to show up in the references tab in Word. I think the problem is that I can't get the zotero.dotm file into the Word Startup file because I can't find it. The only startup folder I found through clicking Word-> preferences etc. did not have a location and when I found it, it was empty. There was nothing in my library. When I click View (last tab in a Word doc) --> Micros icon, I see Zotero there. I tried adding it running it, etc. but nothing is working. I see lots of entries in View Micros. One set of project.zotero files, one set of normal.zotero files, and a newmacros.zotero file. I have dragged and dropped the zotero.dotm file to Word but it won't let me copy and paste because I can't find the Word startup folder. I've been dragging into the regular Word program through finder. Help!

    I'd like to get the pilot to work with Google Docs but I can't! How do I get Zotero to show up as an add-on or icon in Google Docs?

    Ok I finally see the Zotero icons in Word. Now I really need the plug in for Google docs to work. I can't find where to enable google docs integration experimental in Zotero connector. I downloaded beta and there is no option in advanced or anywhere about google docs at all. Help!

    The google docs integration is currently only available for the Firefox beta connector, as described in the announcement post
