+===== Plugin Installation =====

+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]].
