It's my mac, set up to a monitor, just me editing a 113,000 word document on onedrive ie word online.

Dear Team

Word Online doesn’t have the extension system Zotero uses to connect with Word. So you can’t add new Zotero citations or edit existing ones while using Word Online. But existing citations won’t be ha…

Hi @bwiernik, does this mean you can create documents in Word and upload it to Word Online and the citations won't be broken, but you can't create a manuscript in Word Online from scratch using Zoter…

Word Online and Word 2013/2016 (for documents stored in OneDrive) can both do concurrent editing (ala Google Docs).

If possible, i would recommend using Microsoft OneDrive combined with Word Online. This will allow your co-authors to see and edit the document without breaking Zotero citations (you can’t add or edi…

No. Office Online lacks the sort of plugin framework that allows Zotero to connect with it. Office Online also doesn't support creating or editing 'Fields', which is the Word feature that Zotero actu…

Did you ever open your document in an editor other than Desktop word (e.g., Word Online, Google Docs, Dropbox Online, LibreOffice)? If you place your cursor in an old citation and click the Edit Cita…

Word Online doesn't have, I believe, any option for add-ons like Zotero. There used to be problems with Sharepoint and Zotero, but they'd manifest on inserting any citations. If that works, the answe…

The file can be opened with two options: "Open in Word Online" and "Open in Word". When I use the first option I am not seeing any Zotero in the toolbar. The second option opens the file in local Wor

I'm afraid the links to citations are probably gone. That happens most commonly when a docx file is saved with software that doesn't support Word fields, which includes google docs, Word Online, Libr…

That is almost certainly the problem. Zotero uses Word Fields to store the reference information. Editors that don't support Fields (Google Docs, Apple Pages, Dropbox, Word Online) will break Zotero …

@bwiernik, thanks for the reply! I had 2016 previously, but my new institution only provides 2011 for Mac. So, I'm certainly an isolated case, but I was hoping to use Word Online. I'll just have to w…

@gabe-a, did you find a good way to use Zotero (or any other citation manager) with Word Online? Thanks!

That typically happens when you save the Word file in an unsupported format (e.g. .odt or .rtf) or when you open and save it with software that doesn't support saving Word fields, such as LibreOffice…

I haven't used Word as a real-time editor, but my understanding is that you'd use regular, "desktop" Word with Files stored in OneDrive and that latter part converts Word into a real-time editor. I d…

You can use the same workaround as with Google Docs, but there is no add-in for Word Online like the desktop Word. You could, of course, manually type placeholders into Word Online, then add the live…

Thank you!

Hi,

Hello, relative newcomer to Zotero so hoping this is an easyish thing to solve. I've got a large document that I've been writing on Openoffice with 90 or so Zotero citations. Yesterday I did some wor…
