How long have you waited? Word integration on macOS is currently relatively slow, so in a large document it could easily take a while to generate the bibliography.
In any case, that Debug ID is just for Zotero startup. We'd need to see a Debug ID that actually shows the operation in question. But you can also just use View Output in the Debug Output Logging menu to see if it's actually doing something.
Length of time waited: on average, 10-15 min whenever attempts are made. Sometimes Word and Zotero go into "spinning beach-ball" mode and must be force-quittted
The bibliography operation is in process now, and view output just began spitting out lots of text.
Debug ID: D1635176341
Now the text output stopped. At the same time, an "Edit bibliography" dialogue pops up. At bottom of dialogue, it says: "Warning: if you edit a citation in the editor it will no longer update to reflect changes in your database or the citation style.
New Debug: D1948085537
I hit "Ok" in dialogue, and text output (in View debug output) now spitting out more text. Different strings than before are appearing, and at different rates. So something new is happening.
Current ID: D956961679
That's the last output. It's stopped:
(4)(+0000044): ZoteroMacWordIntegration: complete
No bibliography generated in document still.
Trying again (this time with debug output ENABLED)
If it's opening the Edit Bibliography window, there's already a bibliography in your document. Toggle Word field codes, search for ZOTERO_BIBL, and delete the field completely. Then toggle field codes off and try inserting a bibliography again (only once).
Problem seems to be solved, but the cause is uncertain. Notes below.
1) segmenting original chaps 1-7 into new files
2) created segment of chap 1-3, {Citation} text NOT appearing; troubleshooting ERROR (D122271073)
3) segment of chap 4-7, {Citation} text appears; Successful bibliography generated (D1430642322)
4) initial conclusion: error must be in segment chap 1–3.
5) segment of chap 1-2: {Citation} text appears; Successful bibliography generated (D1866704307)
6) segment of chap 3 only: {Citation} text appears; Successful bibliography generated (D477515551)
7) trying original chaps 1-7 again: {Citation} text appears (D2005121580)
8) overall conclusion: it worked but not apparently tied to any of the above steps, since #7 was the original file from yesterday, not one of the duplicate segmented files. The only failure was on segment of chaps 1–3.
