Hello,
I am trying to add new citation Style (ABNT set for brasilian portuguese style) but it fails.
Currently I am using linux mint 13.
I follow the general recomendation of adding the style in \opt\mendeleydesktop\share\mendeleydesktop\citationStyles-1.0 and then in mendeley desktop go to view -citatio Style - more Styles - get more styles then tipying the added style in search.
In the past I did this and it worked but then I had to reinstall my linux and now mendeley simply doesn't show the added style.
Any glue ?

Word plugin Bibliography problem
Hi,
when I want to add a bibliography to any word document, I end up with a corrupted version of the bibliography.
This is what I do: When I click on "Insert Bibliography" this window appears: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rrk7bhoe5su25bo/bib1.PNG where I'm being asked how I want to convert the file... when I hit "ok" on the HTML selection, I end up with this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7sw4z20qts737gd/bib2.PNG. Please see the corrupted "ibliography}" between the paragraphs. When I add another citation and the bibliography is about to update, the same window appears again and I get a complete new bibliography above the old one, see here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ku7fzgvns33rz5z/bib3.PNG
You can download the word document here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/94h6kjh5nkcfpic/Asdf.docx
Best,
Thomas

Private Group Creation
I previously owned a private group with 2 other members. I have deleted that group and would like to create another one for another project I am working on. Is this possible with the free plan? I would only be a member of a single private group.

Could you give me a tip about how to complete the installation ?
Thank you very much for your attention

problem formatting citation
First of all I want to say thank you, I love Mendeley!
This is the first time I have encountered problems and it happened after an update. As soon as I try to insert a citation I get this message:
Problem formatting citation #1
Problem updating citation: {Formatting Citation}n}
You can fix this citation by removing and re-inserting it.
If the problem persists, please get in touch with http://www.mendeley.com/contact-support.
I have tried to remove end re-insert the references a couple of times but it does not seem to help.
Sincerely,
Sara

Only create citation keys with legal characters for biber
When using biblatex with the new biber backend (that will replace bibtex), it chokes on citation keys that include e.g. apostrophes: O'Neill2001.
There are several people with this problem (http://tex.stackexchange.com/posts/163850)

Citation of Abstracts
I would like to cite an abstract out of an index of abstracts from a research forum. I don't mind entering the information manually, but there is no "abstract" option under manual entry. Is there a way I can still cite the abstract/get around that?
Thanks.

Citing an entire special issue of a journal
I'd like to make reference to a special journal issue, the entire issue rather than an article within it. Here's what I've found for Chicago style:
14.187 Special issues
A journal issue (occasionally a double issue) devoted to a single theme is known as a special issue. It carries the normal volume and issue number (or numbers if a double issue). Such an issue may have an editor and a title of its own. An article within the issue is cited as in the first example; a special issue as a whole may be cited as in the second example.
42. Sassler, Sharon, “Learning to Be an ‘American Lady’? Ethnic Variation in Daughters’ Pursuits in the Early 1900s,” in “Emergent and Reconfigured Forms of Family Life,” ed. Lora Bex Lempert and Marjorie L. DeVault, special issue, Gender and Society 14, no. 1 (2000): 201–202.
Good, Thomas L., ed. “Non-Subject-Matter Outcomes of Schooling.” Special issue, Elementary School Journal 99, no. 5 (1999).
Mendeley doesn't import the entire issues citation when I try using the web app, so I'm trying to enter it manually but there isn't an option for journal special issue. Any thoughts?

Different citation styles (author year) and author (year)
Hey
I have this problem and have been reading lots of online posts, but they do not solve my problem.
When writing a paper, sometimes we need to insert the citation in this format: (Jerry 2014). But for some reasons, we may also have to cite in the other format Jerry (2014). This means sometimes we need the author's name out of the bracket sometimes in the bracket (I guess this is clear enough).
Question: how can we achieve this?
Could you please stop mentioning the suppress author method. That is totally irrelevant.By suppressing the author, we get (2014). What is this? Does that mean the year 2014 suggests sth?
What we need is a function by which we can simply switch from (author year) to author (year) and vice verse. Can we do that in Mendeley?
thanks

how to orgaanize pdfs on the hard drive into the Mendeley corresponding folders
I would like to organize pdf files on my hard drive into the same folders as I had created in Mendeley desktop. I can't figure out how to do that. If I go to File Organizer (Tools -Options-File Organizer) it doesn't see to have that option and only offers to organize files by author name, year, journal name etc. It would be nice to be able to find them in the same folders as in the desktop.

Number of authors in citation
Hello,
So I have many articles and I'm using APA style. However, when I cite some of them, the name of all the authors is included in the citation! For the rest, it's OK and it looks like (First author et al., 2005).
I couldn't figure out why this happens.
Please help.
Thank you
