Of the different ways to automatically [[creating_bibliographies|generate bibliographies]] (as well as in-text citations and footnotes), the easy-to-use word processor plugins are probably the most flexible. These plugins, available for Microsoft Word and OpenOffice/NeoOffice, create dynamic bibliographies: insert a new in-text citation in your manuscript, and the bibliography will be automatically updated to include the cited item. Correct the title of an item in your Zotero library and with a click of a button the change will be incorporated in your texts. | Of the different ways to automatically [[creating_bibliographies|generate bibliographies]] (as well as in-text citations and footnotes), the easy-to-use word processor plugins are the most powerful.

To get started with these plugins, check out the following links. You can also get a taste of how these plugins work in action by watching screencasts of [[screencast_tutorials/zotero_and_word|Zotero and Word]] or of [[http://ice.usq.edu.au/media/videos/zotero_demo_01.swf?embed&height=480&width=640%20|Zotero and OpenOffice]] (by Daniel de Byl). Note that not all versions of Word and OpenOffice/NeoOffice are supported. It is therefore recommended that you take a look at the [[which_version#word_processor_compatibility|word processor compatibility table]] to check whether your word processor is currently supported. | To get started with these plugins, see the following pages: |

| ===== Plugin Installation ===== |
| |
| The word processor plugins are bundled with Zotero and should be installed automatically for each [[system_requirements#word_processors|supported word processor]] on your computer when you first start Zotero. |
| |
| You can reinstall the plugins later from the Cite -> Word Processor Plugins pane of the Zotero preferences. If you're having trouble, see [[word_processor_plugin_manual_installation|Manually Installing the Zotero Word Processor Plugin]] or [[Word Processor Plugin Troubleshooting]]. |

| You can also get a taste of how these plugins work in action by watching screencasts of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuRF8zxkxIo#!|Zotero and Word]] (by Hannah Rempel, using the "Quick Format" version of the plugin) of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFkWoBAJY5c|Zotero and OpenOffice]] (by Ryan Guy, using the "classic" plugin). Note that these videos were made using older versions of Zotero; the Zotero Word plugin buttons look somewhat different in newer versions. |
