The most basic information is often left out by persons who know so much they take it for granted. The basic information was that Word used to blatantly display Zotero, but it will seem like it has disappeared with newer Word versions because it i…

Solved, with the most basic information missing. But: "The Zotero tab doesn't appear in documents?" Either incorrect or unclear. I kept wondering why it didn't appear. It was there all the time. MS had just changed where. It was hidden, an Easter…
-
Yup, I know Zotero tab doesn't appear in documents. It should be up top, in the Word menu bar, like before. I did wonder if some old garbage got carried along with old Word documents, but you imply that's unlikely. And probably not some Zot incompat…

Hi Dstillman, Adomasven, Nope, not institutional. Private Mac M2, Ventura, Word 2021 Mac. All new within the last week, though a big file is from Word 2011, where Zotero 'Z' dropdown showed. I deleted Zotero.dotm from Word's startup folder, use…
-
I moved and deleted Normal.dotm a bunch of times, restarting Word. Its location also made no difference. Still no Z with drop-down menu. Zotero.dotm still appears in Word startup items.
-
Thanks. Yep, it says (from the beginning, so no change): Global Templates and Add-ins. Checked items are currently loaded. √ Zotero.dotm l even restarted the Mac. Next?

Good news: I did change the two mis-styled citations into Times New Roman. It hadn't worked when highlighted via "Format Style" and "Apply," which usually covers a whole document. Simple highlighting and using the toolbar worked. That probably fix…

Thanks dstillman, Word for Mac 2011 Version 14.7.7 Latest installed update: 14.7.7 Mysteries.

Word 2011, OSX 10.10.5 Yosemite. Mac Pro 2010. 32GB. 1TB SSD. The documents have some illustrations plugged in, otherwise just docx. Page view. I generally have a lot of windows open. No comments, no track changes. Formatting changes? Good gues…

I've had the "You have modified this citation..." message pop up five times in about 8 uses of a simple "add citation" and "page numbers" since yesterday. I dig 'grabs' of three messages. Two showed identical "Original" and "Modified" citations. The…
-
Thanks Distillman, I looked each time, but couldn't see any differences between the old and new citations in the prompts. They all looked identical. If it happens again I'll double check. Mystery.
-
I get the same message, about old citations I haven't modified when I add a new citation. I choose, "No," to "Do you want to keep your modifications and prevent future updates," since I didn't modify. After one to three of these messages they stop. …

Hi there Farridnejad. I haven't had this problem for a couple years, so I'm not up to date, but: For a while I figured it was because Zotero wanted files in .doc rather than .docx form. I didn't comply. I always saved just before and after adding a …

Not Flash. I removed Adobe Flash. Inserted six or eight Zotero citations. Transferred a couple from one Word docx to another. Let the Mac sleep for six hours. On waking, Word crashed. Eh?
-
I woke OS 10.6.8 from sleep. Firefox displayed the spinning rainbow ball for half a minute. Then: "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry..." Firefox displayed a message, "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed. This o…
-
I followed the above instructions, first cleaned out old preferences, to no avail. I then used 'Remove Office Tool' and Reinstalled 2008. Still crashed, not immediately, no change there. Then I purchased Office 2011 for Mac. I again used the '…

Word crash message: "Word has encountered a problem and must shut down." I used Word 2008 with Zotero doing citations till about 1:00 AM last night, and then on a non-cited docuement till about 2:30 AM last night. I didn't use it this morning, and d…

I have a similar experience. Zotero 2.17, Firefox 3.6.17*, Word 2008 crashes sometimes, after I add or edit citations. This time it waited eight hours of non-use, then spontaneously: down. I haven't had Word crash otherwise for a couple years. …

I have the same experience as Llodewyck. Latest Zotero, Word 2008 crashes after I add or edit citations. This time it waited eight hours of non-use, then spontaneously: down. I haven't had Word crash otherwise for a couple years. OSX 10.6.7. M…
-
Yeah, my apologies. I was cranky and improperly harsh. And I think we're mostly saying the same thing, with some confusion obscuring agreement. Nope, I was talking about indexes of subject matter, which Zotero does not do. But, re. "the non-Engli…
-
What what? An index is an index. You generate that from keywords. It has nothing to do with a bib, which has to do with your sources. Books often have both. [I deleted this.]

Aha. Disabling 'Themes' in Firefox 3.6.13 Fixed all. Answer was in another thread. Thanks.
-
I had the same fuzziness of print, OS 10.6.5 and Firefox 3.6.13, Zotero 2.0, and inability to enter data in the Info box. Disabling a theme fixed it. Is this incompatibility fixed in the newer Beta version?
