Microsoft Word Zotero Mac
It is quite possible it is me who does not understand.

The trusted Word app lets you create, edit, view, and share your files with others quickly and easily. May 24, 2018 I just installed Word 2016 for Mac. Everything went well, except I cannot find the Zotero toolbar. If I am understanding correctly, downloaded the latest software for Safari, the plugin for Word, and restarted Word, without success.

OK: I could not find in Finder on the iMac a Zotero.dot file with the date 16 Mar 2016 per step 2 of the second link above. It looks like I installed the latest version of Zotero but not the plug-in.
However, when I tried to install the latest version of the plug-in (from https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_installation) I get the following error message:
'Safari can’t open the file “Zotero-MacWord-Plugin-3.5.14-4.xpi” because no available application can open it.'
Next step?
Blessings,
Eric Ressler - When using Standalone, the Word add-on installs automatically and the file is definitely on your computer. You should be able to find it setting finder to include hidden files in the search, but if need be you can download it from

In Word 2016, the Zotero toolbar is under 'Add-ins' on the main ribbon. It is no longer floating.
As I understand, MS defines a ribbon as the top bar containing tabs and shortcuts.
Blessings,
Eric - Hello. This has been really helpful. Is there any way to make the Zotero toolbar float again? It is not ideal to have to constantly toggle between the main ribbon and the add-in tab. Thanks in advance.
- Hi Blinky:
As I understand, there is no longer an option for a floating toolbar. (I believe Adam would be able to say for 100% sure.)
Best to you. - correct. I'd recommend setting up keyboard shortcuts for usability.
- Thank you, shortcuts are a good alternative-- much appreciated!
- You can also add the Zotero macros to the Quick Access toolbar above the ribbon.
- I am having a similar problem. I have Word 2016 and Mac OS Sierra version 10.12. I have followed the instructions in both of the forums below, but zotero does not appear under 'ad ins' in Word. I found the zotero.dot file and selected the folder containing it as the word startup file. Please advise!

First, I sympathize. :)
Second, I am no longer close enough to the issue to easily recreate exact steps, however, I was able to solve my problem with the information provided in this discussion and I am sure it will work for you. I am not sure about other discussion strings.
In other words, however painful, keep fiddling.
Blessings,
Eric - @kritas -- what's the location of your Word Startup folder (the filepath, that is?)
- it's in library/group containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/user content/startup/word
- I don't have Word here right now, so this may not be 100% precise, but do you see Zotero listed under Templates and Add-ins in Word (which should be accessible through the Developer tab and maybe also under Files --> Options --> Advanced.
- I see it now. Not sure if I was looking in the wrong spot before, but I'm glad it's showing up!. Thanks for the help!
- I see Zotero listed under Templates and Add-ins in Word, but it's not selected. I, naturally, select it and hit ok. Since my document is already open to do this, I figure I need to exit Word to refresh. But every time I do that, it defaults to the Zotero.dot toolbar not being selected. I can use Zotero by way of the Macros menu, but I sure miss that toolbar. It was working fine for me last week, so I'm not sure what happened.
Thanks! - That must be some type of Word or security setting. Maybe something related to allowing macros in documents?
- That was totally it! There was a setting within Word's preferences that was pre-selected 'Notify me when a document contains macros.'
Thanks so much!! - Hello everyone!
I am having a similar issue, and nothing discussed in the comments seems to work for me.
I have Word 2016, and my stand alone Zotero recently updated automatically. As a consequence, I no longer am able to see the 'complements' tab on my Word.
I have followed all the recommendations here and I still cannot see it.
Is there any way to solve it?
Thanks to all! - Zotero adds a “Zotero” tab in Word 2016. If you don’t see it, see:

This is a Firefox add-on that consists of a library written in ObjC that communicates with Microsoft Word out of process using AppleScript, a js-ctypes wrapper for said library, and a template that is installed into Microsoft Word to communicate with Zotero.
ObjC Library Build Requirements
- MacOSX10.7.sdk symlinked to
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs - XCode 8.2+
To Build the ObjC Library
- Launch the project in
build/src/libZoteroMacWordIntegration.xcodeproj - Product -> Build For -> Profiling
Template Build Requirements
- Templates should be built with the oldest version of Word to be supported. Otherwise older versions of Word may fail to function properly. This is currently:
- Word 2016 (for the ribbonized dotm template)
- Word 2011 (for the old dot template)
To Modify/Build the Templates
- Open the template from inside Microsoft Word
- Go to View->Macros->View Macros (Ribbonized Word) or Tools->Macros->View Macros (Word 2016) and click 'Edit' for one of the Zotero macros
- Edit/replace code as desired
- Go to Debug->Compile Project to ensure there are no code errors
- Run
build/template/unpack_templates.sh
Development Starter's Guide
Start by opening the dotm/dot template in Word. Word templates have support for custom macros and adding UI elementsto call the macros, which is how the extension is implemented on Word.RibbonUI can be edited by extracting the dotm file. To edit the .dot template UI Word for Windows 2003 is needed.In VBA Macros code you will see that calls to Zotero areexecuted by writing commands to a file named .zoteroIntegrationPipe. The command format is:
The pipe is created in zoteroMacWordIntegration2016Pipe.jsfor Word 2016 or integration.jsfor Word 2011 and older, and requests are handled in integration.js.
