Either save to RTF and open in Word (or LibreOffice or similar) or use the Word/LO/Google Docs add on to insert citations and create a bibliography.

We have assisted numerous Zotero users with LibreOffice and Java configuration problems in the past and can tell you what we know about troubleshooting but you need to stop insisting that there's som

Right, to be clear, the stable version of LibreOffice is still LibreOffice 6.4, and it continues to work with all JDK versions. Most people are likely still running that — since it doesn't yet auto-up

That is simply incorrect. JDK 12 should work with LibreOffice as long as you have it selected in LibreOffice Preferences -> Advanced. You can also downgrade to LibreOffice 6.4.6 where JDK 14 works or

I mean the place where I run the application. I am on Debian. I think the path Libreoffice use to find zotero is not good anymore but I can't find where to find it.

Second, I believe the LibreOffice developers have fixed the incompatibility between LO 7 and more recent JDK versions for LO 7.1, so once that's out this should work better. I haven't tested the LO ni

LibreOffice could not communicate with Zotero. Please ensure Zotero is open and set to an online state and try again.

No. Zotero works with Word and Libreoffice natively, and with bibtex toolchains for example.

That's the "LibreOffice requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. The selected JRE is defective." message?

@bwiernik: No, it didn't — I just added that today. It just said LibreOffice required "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK)".

Just to update this for others, it seems like LibreOffice on macOS does currently require a Java JDK, not the Java 8 JRE, and LibreOffice 7 works with JDK versions up to 12, not newer versions. (Our t

Just to update this, it seems like LibreOffice on macOS currently requires a Java JDK, not the Java 8 JRE, and LibreOffice 7 works with JDK versions up to 12, not newer versions. (Our troubleshooting

In any case, there's nothing we can fix here, other than recommending a version of Java that LibreOffice accepts. On macOS, for LO 7, that seems to be JDK 12. We'll update the documentation accordingl

Once again, this is not a Zotero bug. It is a bug with LibreOffice failing to instantiate a Java Virtual Machine with JDK 14 installed. This is what people in your bug report to LibreOffice tell you.

No JDK 8. As for LO: Its 7.0.1 now (https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/)

Ok, so this is almost certainly an issue with LibreOffice, JRE or their compatibility. You should try downgrading to the stable release of LibreOffice 6.4.6. You should also download the Java 8 JRE an

Either way, this is not a Zotero but a LibreOffice and Java compatibility issue and you should report it to LibreOffice developers.

Do you have the plugin running in LibreOffice? Do Zotero operations work at all? What do you do to receive the error message above? Does LibreOffice quit after that? What version of JRE is selected in

MacOS 10.15.7, Homebrew openjdk 14.0.1, LibreOffice 7.0.1.2, Zotero 5.0.90, Zotero LO plugin 5.0.23 installed (from previous versions).

Zotero picker (the red bar you get in word and libreoffice) instead of having to drag and drop citations from Zotero. Whether that is worth the set up hassle is up to you - it is for me, but everyone
