Word Processors

Zotero's word processor plugins integrate Zotero into Microsoft Word or LibreOffice.  This plugin will enable you to create citations in your document while you are typing.  Plugins are automatically installed when you install the Zotero program.  However if you need to perform a re-install it can be done from the Word Processor tab found in Cite preferences.
