Description
If it's not compatible with the installed version of Zotero, the Word plugin should trigger a dialog in Zotero prompting users to download an updated version. We can either switch the plugin to toolkit-style version numbers and use nsIVersionComparator or just use an incrementing integer. The latter is probably fine.
Simon, I can take care of the actual dialog (which I think will have either a link to zotero.org or a button to automatically download the correct plugin/installer), so feel free to just throw in an alert() to start.

Let me know what you want sent to Zotero via the RPC call and I will implement it on the Microsoft Word/OOo Writer side. - Ian

- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from new to closed
(In [1577]) closes #689, eliminate initial prompt to migrate from fields to bookmarks
closes #618, Word plugin should have required-version logic
still need to:
- test with Word for Windows
- test with OOo (I assume the codebase is similar enough between Mac and Win)
- test with files from old Word plug-in
but, I will probably try to get all of the Word plug-in stuff done before I worry about this (unless there are objections)
