  • Dear @adomasven thank you for your response, and all your efforts. In a strange way, this all makes me feel a bit better, knowing that what I was experiencing was a serious and as yet insoluble problem. I was wondering if the age of the documents …
  • Thank you so much @meichler ! I really appreciate your writing, especially because I feel like at least at first @bwiernik, and @adomasven et alia were not taking my claims that the problem was systemic rather than episodic very seriously. Now, as t…
  • Further, I closed one document (the outline which is almost always open when I am writing) and opened another one, and it crashed again. Then I opened only one document, a new one, without a citation, and added a citation, and it did not crash.
  • Hi dstillman and bwiernik: Okay, it has happened again. I purposefully tried to make Word crash, and it did. I opened three Word docs and then tried to insert a citation. Dialog Box says "Microsoft Word has stopped working." When Word asked me i…
  • Dear Colerizki, Thanks for the thought. I did check my storage and I have ample. I think the problem may be the laptop I am using. I have been working on my office computer and so far there has not been a WORD crash. The issue is that Word crashe…
  • I will try all of these things as soon as I am in my office where I can have both my laptop and the desktop open at once, and respond to all the questions you pose then. I do appreciate your help, though I am really bummed about this generally.
  • @dstillman and @bwiernik please see my posts from April of this year when I went through the process of updating my Word, downloading all new Zotero plug ins etc. I have done this already. "Ultimately a Word crash may be outside of our control — @…
  • Dear DWL-SDCA, In fact, "annoyance and frustration," as you characterized it, do not begin to describe how I feel. Try desperation. I have built my entire academic career on Zotero, recommended it to countless colleagues and students, and now you…
  • *Sigh* Read the thread! It is the same problem as it ever was. I have spent many, many HOURS trying to resolve this problem. I really have no hope that it will get fixed. But I am posting in the spirit of public service.
  • I explain it above, but Word has crashed repeatedly, and continues to do so.
  • Okay, thanks dstillman, but now Zotero says there have been no errors since I started zotero. I had shut it down. Do you have all you need to see what is wrong?
  • Hi Guys, It took me 15 minutes to put one footnote in my book this AM. I have copied the error reporting below. I know you love this program, and I love this program. I am so thankful for your help and support. However, since you changed it, I g…

  • I now have the newest version of Office 2013. Thanks for catching that. We will see what happens now....
  • Thanks so much! I had not thought of a separate update for international versions. I will check now.
  • Thanks! I went back and downloaded all of those updates from 2018, but each time I got the message that they did not apply to any program on my system, so I assume that means that I already downloaded them? I bought this MS Office 2013 in Australia…

  • Hi, it just crashed my word about 6 times in row. I reported the errors at 452253530 I have it set to not update, but it still crashed. Luckily this time I did not lose work.
  • Okay. Thanks! When I do that at the end it begins to update, should I expect it to crash, based on what has gone on before? And will that be the time that I should go through the debugging procedures?
  • I would have used copy and paste, but the dialog box would not let me use it. So today, it did not crash, but now it is putting a dashed underline under the entire footnote citation. I have a photo but do not see a way to attach a photo here.
  • Hi, Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. I have downloaded the newest version of zotero -- I did not have the newest version. I think I have the newest Word plugin, but I am running Office 2013. Does that matter? I have checked the box under doc…
  • It just crashed again, and I lost another paragraph of new writing that I will have to recreate. I'm about to give up.
  • Okay, that's fair. But just because I didn't respond to that previous thread, did not mean that I did not try to take the advice of that thread to fix my problem. I did. But the proposed solution was that I go through the document note by note, copy…
  • Thanks, but I would add, that though it may not be widespread, it is a major problem for me.
  • Hi All, The old Zotero tab used to be part of the Word Plug In. IT was under "Ad Ins." Now I cannot get it off my Word for some reason. The new Zotero Tab, with the new Zotero is not now crashing all the time. So the fixes they have done have helpe…
  • I did what you suggested bwiernik, but I think the update I installed on Zotero fixed the problem. I copied and pasted the text in a new document, and then reset the Zotero preferences, and now it seems to be working.
  • Hi All, I replicated it again. I copied and pasted the entire chapter into a new document, reset the Zotero preferences, and it still crashed. Then, I decided to try the "old Zotero" tab on my Word -- the one that says "Ad Ins" -- and it worked con…
  • Dear All, Thanks Vasili for posting! Now I know I am not crazy! I just reporoduced it myself. A new document where you select the doc preferences it does NOT crash. On an old document it does not put the citation even after repeated tries, and/or c…
