The solution is to remove the -no-remote command-line option from the shortcut used to launch the Zotero profile (this flag should never be used with Zotero).

Windows plugins communicate with Zotero using the remote window.Try temporarily disabling any security software you're running, which could interfere with the connection between Word and Zotero.For security and stability reasons, you should typically not run any software as an administrator. The plugin may fail, for example, if Zotero is run as an administrator while Word is run as a regular user.


Ensure that Zotero Word for Windows Integration is enabled in Tools → Add-ons → Extensions in Zotero.Or the plugin appears and buttons are clickable, but no insert citation window appears, try the following steps: "Could not find a running Word instance."
