Word for Windows Zotero plug in unresponsive Since Microsoft 365 updated

edited 2 days ago
Report ID: 1167283567

To reproduce problem:

1. Start latest version of Zotero 7.
2. Start Word for Windows.
3. Create new document and save it.
4. Enter some text. Open Zotero tab on Word menu. No response to clicking on any of the Zotero menu items, including 'Document Preferences', 'Add/Edit Citation', 'Add/Edit Bibliography'.

Problem persists if Word is started before Zotero. Have tried manually reinstalling plugin (which necessitated getting permissions from our IT department to delete old versions of plugin and copy new version into relevant folders.)

Also unresponsive if a document containing Zotero citations and bibliography is opened and if computer is shut down and restarted.

This seems to have happened after an update of Microsoft 365 last week. Same issues on 2 other users in our lab group with identical set-ups for Zotero and MS 365.

Many thanks for attending to this!

Leon.
