[Developer's Note: Please see the last comment. — D.S.]
Hello everyone,
I share here a procedure to get the Zotero oglet in word 365 under windows. I did not find the perfect solution on the forum and I searched alone. Like that, it's functional!
Here is the procedure:
1. Open a Word document
2. Go to "File"
3. Choose "option"
4. Choose "advanced options" from the drop-down menu
5. Go down to the "General" chapter and click on "File Location"
6. A window appears. Double click on the line "Startup Files". DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN THIS WINDOW !!!!!!!!
7. Carefully record/note/copy the way in the address bar at the top of the window (to reveal it easily just click on this address bar and copy the address.
8. Open a new window of disk C for example
9. Paste the address in this window. You must then have access to an empty window called STARTUP
10. Find the Zotero tab creation file on a other window:
Disk C> program Files (x86)> zotero> extension> zoteroWinWordIntegration@zotero.org> Install> Zotero.dotm
11. COPY this file and do not move it !!!!!!
12. Paste the Zotero.dotm file into the Word STARTUP window
13. Close all the windows and the word document
14. Open word and it works

I had copied Zotero.dotm to but it still did not work. Zotero.dotm did not show up under Word-Add-Ins. (Manually) re-installing did not change this. I solved it by manually adding the path to directly in Word-Add-Ins.
Thank you very much indeed!
i have been struggling to long and lost to much time. You saved me!
If you're not seeing Zotero in Word, see Zotero Toolbar Doesn't Appear, which recommends a couple easier things to try and then links to the manual installation steps, and has additional platform-specific troubleshooting steps if those don't work.
I'm going to close this thread now. If you're still having trouble getting Zotero to work in Word after trying everything on the troubleshooting page, please start a new thread with more details.
