Yes, you can add a Word document to Zotero by simply dragging and dropping the document into your Zotero library. Alternatively, you can use the 'Store Copy of File…' option in Zotero to locate the Word document on your computer and add it. However, Zotero is primarily designed for managing references and citations, so while it can store Word documents, it doesn't offer functionality for citation management within these documents. For that, you should utilize Zotero’s plugin for Word to directly insert and manage citations.
