Please let us know if that fixes the problem for you. You can test that by downloading this version of Zotero.dotm, moving it into your Word Startup folder, and restarting Word. We're also testing a new version of the plugin that should restore the previous communication mechanism on non-Sonoma Macs. You can tell your IT department that Zotero 6.0.27 uses curl from VBA to make an HTTP request to the Zotero app at 127.0.0.1:23119, since Sonoma blocks the previous communication method, and ask them whether there’s any security software or policy restrictions that would be blocking that. Zotero 6.0.27 changes the mechanism the Word plugin uses to communicate with Zotero for macOS Sonoma compatibility, so some security software or settings might need to be adjusted to allow the new communication method, and we're trying to figure out what that might be for the people experiencing this.
