    Check with Zotero support. I am guessing that there is an add-in that you can install.

    Hi @Didier Payen,

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    According to your request, please follow these steps to install Zotero:

    • Install Zotero Desktop (the current major version is Zotero 7)
    • Open Zotero after finishing installing. The Word plugin in bundled and it will be installed automatically after you start Zotero the first time.

    If the Zotero tab is missing, please follow these steps:

    • Close Microsoft Word completely
    • Open Zotero > Settings/Preferences > Cite > Word Processors.
    • Click “Install Microsoft Word Add-in” (or “(Re)install…” depending on your version).
    • Restart Word and check for the Zotero tab.

    If Zotero tab is still missing, please follow the detailed guidance from Zotero in this article: word_processor_plugin_troubleshooting [Zotero Documentation]
