Word Plugin not showing/autocomplete resources after upgrade

francesco79 · January 26, 2024

Hello,

thanks for a great job with the latest version!

However, right in the midst of a chapter writing, the word plugin stopped showing/autocompleting the resources when prompted in the add citation.

Word: 16.81
Zotero: 7.0.0-beta.55
Mac OS: 3.4.1 (22F82)

Thanks for your help!

This is the red "Quick format" add citation dialog? Could you say a bit more about what exactly is (not) happening, i.e. steps to reproduce?

I use Word for Mac, but I assume it is the corresponding (red) dialog in Window you are referring to.

When I add the footnote using the "add/edit citation" under Zotero Tab, and I start typing the resource/author I want to quote (in the "Title, Creator, Year" search area), the list seems "frozen" and doesn't go automatically to the resources I am trying to retrieve.

An indexing issue?

No, nothing to do with Mac vs. Windows. You're using the classic citation dialog, and the search bar is broken in the latest beta. See this thread:

@francesco79: This is fixed in the latest beta (56).
