It's possible that copying the file in OneDrive flattens it, if it gets processed through Word Online, which doesn't work with Zotero.

There's currently no Zotero plugin for Word Online -- it's very tentatively planned, but I wouldn't expect it any time soon.

Thank you. This was helpful. I found out that I would have to open Word Online document in the Desktop App for Zotero plug-in to show in the Ribbon. Then any updates that I make using the Desktop App…

You can use Zotero with the installed version of Office 365 and with a Word document on OneDrive/Sharepoint, but no, you can't use it with Word online.

What exactly do you mean by the "Word Editor webpage"? I believe Word online should be fine, but I'd test that before relying on it. Most other online services through which you can edit Word document

No, not currently. We're discussing with Microsoft the changes that would be necessary in Word online to allow us to create a satisfactory plugin:

Does anybody know if it is possible to connect one's data base zotero online with Word software online? If yes, how to do that? (I cannot find a way to install zotero plugin on word online ....)

What about Word in Office 365 online browser app?

From the testing we have done ourselves collaborative editing with Zotero in Word via OneDrive should work - other collaborators should see citations added via Zotero. We didn't test this very thorou…

I tried stripping any remaining field codes from my MS Word 2016 document (Shift+CTRL+9)and nothing happened.

@adomasven The Connector would affect documents in OneDrive (not Google Drive), edited with either Word or Word Online?

Is there a browser plugin for Word 365 Online?

A few reasons.

(word online and Word 365 are not the same thing. Zotero definitely doesn't work in Word online. It'll never show up there)

Do you mean editing in Word Online? No, Zotero only works with the desktop version of Word

Zotero doesn't work with Word online. It works with Google docs, but you do need to install the local Zotero app on your Chromebook, see https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/installing_on_a_chromebook
