Upgrade StorageAnyone got Zotero plugin working in Word on WINE in Linux?
Just like it says: Anyone got Zotero plugin working in Word on WINE in Linux?
I've been running Word in Codeweavers Crossover Office version of WINE on Linux.
But although Zotero installs, the plugin doesn't work.
I screwed with it a bit, and almost got it to work by altering the calls to Firefox in the plugin VB files to zotero. But I'd love to hear a way to get it to actually function as intended.
Don't want to have to run Windows just to get citations to work.

Running MS Word in (Codeweaver's Crossover Office version of) WINE. I got Zotero working in the WINE container (as outlined here https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/12426/word-intergration-with-wine and here https://www.reddit.com/r/winehq/comments/kwb7nx/comment/gj5sda7/?context=3)
Steps:
Download Zotero 5.0.58 (https://www.zotero.org/download/client/dl?channel=release&platform=win32&version=5.0.58)
Intall, launch Word and Zotero, and close them.
Replace the stock Zotero.dotm with this modified version: https://github.com/ozdemirmelih/Zotero-5.0.58-citiation-plugin/blob/main/Zotero.dotm
(In Crossover it goes in: ~/.cxoffice/Bottle_with_MS_Office_and_Zotero/drive_c/users/%user_name%/Application\ Data/Microsoft/Word/STARTUP/)
In Zotero Edit -> Settings -> Advanced -> Configuration editor -> set app.update.auto FALSE, otherwise Zotero gets autoupdated to a non working version and you have to redo steps 2 to 5 again.
I've tried editing later versions of Zotero.dotm, so I can upgrade, but it hasn't worked.
Anyone found a way to get past v5.0.58 in WINE?
In the older version, there were some changes to the VB in the Zotero.dot file that allowed it to work (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/12426/word-intergration-with-wine/p3), but I haven't been able to extend that to newer versions yet.
Would love to hear about a solution (or a WINE-compatible version).
it seemed the solution is working fine, however i'm not able to sync my zotero library, which is kind of prerequisite to get anything done. When trying to, i get the prompt that "This version of Zotero is too old". Anyone aware of a work around?
Just tried it again with 365. Sure, the free standing Zotero works, but when I try to insert a citation in a Word 365 doc I get an error: "Compile error in hidden module"

Tried resurrecting my Office 2016 bottle, installed Zotero 6.0.36, and ... it's weird, 9 times out of 10, I get an error "Zotero experienced an error updating your document. Would you like to view troubleshooting instructions?" but every so often it lets me insert a citation and build a bibliography. Not usable though.
