(If it wasn't clear this is x64 Word 2010, hence the need for LongPtr's (though on 32-bit systems LongPtr is 32 bit.)

I presume the Zotero client is not expecting to get sent a 64 bit pointer and that's what's causing it not to do anything.

Any chance that you have an installable version of this? I am getting the exact same error message, but am not savvy enough to play around with the code/xpi. Using x64 version on windows vista.

if you can't see my email in my profile - mattyp@ksu.edu

If you can send me your version of the template, I can install it.

Thanks!

Hello,

it is working now.

The modificated code is (thanks cpf):

hi,

i too am facing the same problem W7 x64, Word 2010 x64, can you please send me also the modified version?

regards
srini

update: i tried editing on my own.. seems to be working

Could someone explain where/how to make these edits? Or post a patch? Or update the install files? I just started trying to use Zotero on 64 bit Windows 7 with 64 bit Office 2010 RC and am having the same problems. I could probably copy and paste this code... if I even knew where to go!
Thanks for your help,
Nick

I just (re)downloaded the .xpi from the homepage of zotero.org, I renamed it .zip but couldn't find anything named zotero.dot.

nfahrenkopf: groston is referring to the WinWord plugin XPI, not the main Zotero XPI.

OK, thanks. I uninstalled the plug-in. Downloaded it, found the file, opened the macro and copy-pasted the code above from FGUL. I saved the updated .dot file on my desktop, and replaced the one in the zip with the new one. I think changed the .zip back to the .xpi and installed it in FireFox and I get the same error message.

You put it in the Word startup folder, not the Windows startup folder.

http://www.zotero.org/support/windows_word_plugin_manual_installation_instructions

I also attempted this. It took about 2 hrs to figure it out. I'm pretty sure that all one has to do is modify the zotero.dot file, but it's not good enough just to open the file and cut-and-paste. It has to be edited in a macro editor (like the one in MS Word). For some reason, I had to use a 32-bit version of MS Word to do my editing. After all that, I tried it again with the 64-bit version, and it worked. Go figure!) Anyway, here are the steps I used:
1. Find the zotero.dot file (go to your c:/ drive and search for it, then follow the link. Make sure to edit the file that is in use by MS Word.) Two possible locations:
- C:\Users\*YOURNAME*\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP\zotero.dot
- C:\Users\*YOURNAME*\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\894umbre.default\
extensions\zoteroWinWordIntegration@zotero.org\install\zotero.dot
2. Open "zotero.dot" in MS Word
3. Enable the "developer" tab (if you have not already done so. Search MS Word Help to get this up.)
4. In the "Developer" tab, Click "Macros"
5. Click on "NewMacros.ZoteroInsertCitation" and click on the "Edit" button
6. A couple of sub-windows open up. You'll be editing the one that says: "Zotero - Zotero (Code)"
7. Replace the entire contents with the entire contents of the above post.
8. Click "Save"

My guess is that the Zotero folks haven't been able to test the patch personally, perhaps because they don't have Word 2010... In any case, you're absolutely correct that a version for the 64-bit version of Word 2010 should be distributed.

@cfp and @FGUL: Does the modified plugin still work in non-64-bit Word? If not, is it possible to make changes that would let one version of the plugin operate in both 32-bit and 64-bit Word?

I've just tried the fix that DAL (above) listed for Word 2010 beta (PC, Firefox). Zotero works ok in new documents, but not old ones--even old ones in which it worked previously.

This is getting a little untenable. Word 2010 releases in just a few weeks, and I'd like to be able to use it with Zotero.

Report ID: 1292628070

This may be of some use for adapting the plugin to be used with both 32bit and 64bit versions of Office 2010 (if indeed there are issues, which I suspect there might be):

I'll have a look into this and try work up some code, it shouldn't be too hard to modify the existing VBA code with some if... then... else statements here and there!?

My copy of Office 2010 Academic Pro is on the way. I'll test and report back once I get it running.

cooljazz: Does this have something to do with the above? If not, start a new thread.

And don't double-click the .dot file. Copy it to your Word startup folder, which should be listed in Tools→Templates and Add-ins in Word, if you want/need to install it manually.

But again, start a new thread if you're having trouble, since this doesn't seem to be related to the above.
