SO HERE I OPENED UP THE STARTUP IS ~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/User Content/Startup/WordīUT I CAN'T COPY THE ZOTERO.DOTM FILE, IF I WANT TO MODIFY THE STARTUP I NEED TO OPEN A FILE, AND THEN I CAN'T FIND THE ZOTERO.DOTM.

You should now have two folders open: the Word startup folder and the “install” folder containing Zotero.dotm.Ĭopy the Zotero.dotm file to your Word Startup folder. When running an older version of Microsoft Word software on Windows 10, some users may receive an error message saying that the Command cannot be performed because a dialog box is open. The Microsoft Word program allows users to share and create various documents with the help of an extensive set of tools and aided by Microsoft’s easy to use interface. I WAS ABLE TO FIND THIS ZOTERO.DOTM FILE, SO THAT WORKED.įind your Word startup folder by following the instructions below. The DOTM file extension is a Microsoft Word File template developed by Microsoft Corporation in its version of 20 document template files. In Finder, press Cmd-Shift-G and navigate you can find a copy of the Zotero.dotm file. Further because it its the second instance it shows a dialog 'Word Cannot Save the file because it is already open elsewhere' I built a test app with only this code. If I open a second instance of Word then I cannot call the Quit method without word trying to save normal.dotm.

PLEASE SEE MY COMMENTS WHICH ARE IN ALL CAPS I am working on a Windows 7 / Office 2007 PC. the message Word cannot open the existing file Normal.dotm when there of Word is running.
Still didn't work so then I followed the instructions below. When I go to Finder and Go OPen the folder /Users//Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/User Content/Startup/Word it sends me to Users, not sure what to do from there with that. I deleted Normal.dotm, but it is back once I opened word (no messages came up this time though).
