automation and MS Word

Hello-


The more recent Mojave updates have broken automation's compatability with MS Word 2011. This was used by the Zotero plug-in, which is quite necessary for my work. MS word previously appeared in automation under System Preferences -> Privacy -> Automation.


I tried to test using a terminal command to see if Word could be accessed via automation a different way., but it appears that Mojave has broken all automation for word. I received the following error.


Not authorized to send Apple events to Microsoft Word. (-1743)


Is there any way of somehow manually getting Word added back to the Automation tab?

Please disregard, a solution has been found -- I just can't see a delete thread option.


If anyone else sees this, MS Office updates didn't always push to users, and this is resolved with 14.7.7.
