Video: Re-installation of the Zotero-menu in Word

Missing the Zotero menu in Word?

If you have a Windows PC, and the Zotero menu hasn't been installed, do this:  

1. Close Word.

2. Go to Zotero Preferences → Cite → Word Processors and click “Install Word for Windows Add-in”.

3. Restart Word.

 

If this doesn't work, try this instead: 

1. Open the Zotero installation folder (usually: C:\Program Files (x86)\Zotero).

2. In this folder, open extensions\zoteroWinWordIntegration@zotero.org\. Here you will find the file Zotero.dotm. If the folder is empty, you need to reinstall Zotero.

3. Open Word and choose Options from the File menu. Choose Advanced. Under General, click File Locations. A Word startup folder should be placed here. Click on it and choose Modify.

4. Copy the address to the Startup Folder and close the dialogue box.  

 

 

5. You should now have two folders open. Copy (do not move!) the Zotero.dotm file from the Program Files folder to the Word Startup folder. 

 

6. Open Word again to see if the Zotero menu now is present.
