Configure Zotero http port for Word plugin

G'Day everyone!
I was wondering if there is a way to let the Word plugin know that Zotero's http port is not default anymore. I have two users on the machine, each with their own Zotero library - one Zotero instance has been configured to use a different http port together with the respective Chrome plugin. The word plugin, however, will only connect to the instance on the 23119 port (if switching users on MacOS the Zotero server keeps running on the port configured even if the session is different). Obviously, if Zotero port has been changed the Word plugin will only complain about not seeing Zotero running.
Cheers,
B

    First, be sure to say when you're using the Zotero 7 beta. The current release version of Zotero doesn't use an HTTP port for Word integration on any platform.

    Switching to HTTP for Mac Word integration was a recent change in the Zotero 7 beta for Sonoma (macOS 14) compatibility. I've added documentation for configuring the port number to the Multiple Instances page.
  • Thank you for the reply, dstillman. Zotero 7 beta it is and the ZoteroPort.txt config works perfectly!
    NB Got "Startup" spelled as "Start-up" (Word for Mac v. 16.61)
