    Stepanie,

    I corrected the subject of your post from Word 2017 (which simply does not exist) to Word 2016.

    Phillip paid no attention and started this thread off on a discussion about Word 2011, which has nothing at all to do with your question, but then John and Microsoft made Phillips mistake worse by assuming you were talking about Word 2011, which you were not.

    Let's start over.

    First, verify your Word install is up to date. Go to the Word menu and choose About Word. You should have version 15.31 or higher right now. If not, then follow these instructions to update Word:

    Make sure your Mac has a working internet connection before checking for updates. Install Mac OS X updates followed by Office updates.

    Install Mac OS X updates first:

    To get Mac OS updates, go to the App store on your dock, and then click the Updates button to reveal available updates.

    Then Install Office Updates

    To get the update:

    1. Open any Office application:
    2. Make sure your Mac has a working internet connection
    3. Go to the Help menu and choose Check for Updates
    4. Let AutoUpdate check for and install updates
    5. Restart your Mac

    If Word is up to date, install the latest version of Zotero. Word and Zotero work fine together, as long as you're up to date with both products.

    Hi Stephanie,

    Downloads for Office for Mac 2011 are no longer available for Office 365 after September 22, 2016 from the Office 365 portals. You can refer to details in this article.

    Note: Office 2011 for Mac can be downloaded via the CDN link, but we need to purchase a product key to activate Office.

    You can refer to John’s post above about the Zotero plug-in. If there are any further queries about the third party add-in, please consult their support for dedicated assistance.

    Best Regards,

    Rodney

    Stephanie:

    That's because what you want is not there! Microsoft does not give away 'free downloads' of its software.

    Before you go to all that trouble, check here: https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_installation

    Make sure you really do have the latest version of the Zotero plug-in, and the correct version of Firefox to run it.

    If you really must downgrade to the obsolete version of Word for Mac (hint: DON'T!) I think you can get it here, from CNET: http://download.cnet.com/Microsoft-Office-2011/3000-18483_4-75305578.html

    However, you WILL need a Product Key to install and activate it.  There's no point in downloading it if you have not got the key, it simply won't run.

    You need to ask your University for the key. And while you are on the phone, it would be quicker and easier to simply ask them to lend you their DVD or tell you where they keep it on their network.

    Hope this helps

    I clicked on the link and I got confused because there are so many options. I also could not find 14.7.2

    Try this Link

    If you trace it down it will show as 14.7.2.

    I recently had to redownload office 2011 to reinstall when I purchased a New Mac and transferred all my programs (actually the apple store did). I would not let me re-enter my license code.

    Just download install, and go to My Account and activate.
