| The Zotero Word plugins will be installed automatically into Word for most users. If you don't see a Zotero toolbar in Word, you should [[word_processor_plugin_troubleshooting#zotero_toolbar_doesn_t_appear|attempt to reinstall]] the plugin from the Cite → Word Processors pane of the Zotero preferences. If you receive an error or still don't see the plugin after trying to reinstall from the preferences, you can try the manual installation instructions below. | The Zotero Word plugins will be installed automatically into Word for most users.
