Can't get Zotero to work with Word
That's basically the crux of the problem. I've gone through all the following troubleshooting guides, but can't seem to pin point the problem since everything that should be there/checked/etc. seems fine. HELP!

Not having the add-in work/without the two programs being able to talk to each other basically makes it useless for citations.

See Reporting Problems for the kind of report we need.
You can also just try reinstalling Zotero. There's no harm in that, and if you're finding this difficult you should try that before spending a lot of time on this. Something — likely security software — just corrupted your installation, so a new install is the thing to try.
