Run-time error '5981'

I have problem using zotero word plug-in with Microsoft Word 2004.

I'm running Microsoft Word 2004 on Mac OS X Leopard. And installed plug-in as described here:
http://www.zotero.org/support/microsoft_word_integration

Downloaded .dmg, opened it, copied Zotero.dot into /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Startup/Word. Restarted Word, toolbar is there, but when I try to use it, it complains:

Run-time error '5981'

Could not open macro storage.



Could anyone help me?

    Delete normal.dotm from "%userprofile%\appdata\roaming\microsoft\templates" folder and restart the word.

    I actually had a lot of templates and styles, but there is no solution to repair normal.dotm. Other symptoms of this problem are:

    1. ALT+11 -> Visual Basic is Empty
    2. Developer > Record Macro > "Macro cannot be created"
    3. For me the COMSOL and Foxit-PDF Add-Ins was also not working. So, probably external ad-ins won't work because of this issue.
