The Zotero plugin for Word will be installed automatically when you download Zotero. It will appear as a tab on the Word toolbar.

Add/Edit bibliography | ![]() |
Add a new citation or edit an existing citation in your document at the cursor location. |
Document preferences | ![]() |
Open the Document Preferences window, e.g. to change the citation style. |
Refresh | ![]() |
Refresh all citations and the bibliography, updating any item metadata that has changed in your Zotero library. |
Unlink citations | ![]() |
Unlink Zotero citations in the document by removing the field codes. This prevents any further automatic updates of the citations and bibliographies. Note that removing field codes is irreversible, and should usually only be done in a final copy of your document. |
You can also use Zotero to create citations and bibliographies without using the Word plugin.
