Aug 19, 2008 So, I'm happy with having Zotero limited to just my FF, and I'd like to uninstall the Word plugin. It's not working properly (when I try to add citation, it only brings up like one item, like an author's name, for example, and nothing else), and I don't care enough to bother trouble-shooting it. It also takes up extra space in my word toolbar area. Jun 11, 2010 Microsoft Word add-ins are designed to give additional functionality to the application. There are many third-party Word add-ins available for free. Keep in mind though that as you install more add-ins, it takes longer for Word to open. So if you don’t plan on using an add-in that you have installed, you should remove it.
Microsoft Add Ins Outlook
Global templates, also called Add-ins – and also called “haxies” when installed by independent software vendors – are stored in Word’s Startup folder. These templates can provide numerous helpful functions (macros, styles, toolbars, etc.) but can also cause conflicts with Word. You may have knowingly installed such Add-ins but they can also be installed withoutyour knowledge.

Those that are well known sources of trouble are Adobe PDFMaker, EndNote’s Cite While you Write (CWYW) and WindowShade. Once you’ve identified a problem Add-in, it’s worthwhile to check the manufacturer’s website for more information.
Troubleshooting Procedure: Quit Word and open Word’s Startup folder: /Applications/Microsoft Office (X or 2004)/Office/Startup/Word. Drag the contents to the Desktop. If the problem disappears, add them back in one by one until you find the culprit.
Note: The Endnote conflict with Word X is one of the causes of a Red X replacing the display of graphics. There are others as detailed in the Problem 2 section of the letter from Microsoft reproduced below. Since both of these problems are caused by circumstances external to Word, we have every reason to believe they can affect Word 2004 equally.
