Hi, I recently bought Microsoft 2011 for my mac--replacing an older 2008 version. I was running the Word plug in with 2008 just fine, but even after deleting Office 2008 from the mac I cannot get the plug in to work in word 2011 for mendeley. It downloads the plug in and I see the script at the top of Word, but it doesn't insert citations and there is no toolbar. I understand it may be adding the plugin using some file from the old Word, but I have no idea how to change that. Office 2008 is no longer on the computer. I've restarted both programs multiple times and uninstalled/reinstalled all necessary products as well. And restarted the computer. Please advise.
Thanks,
Tiffany

For someone other than the moderator: is there some format for author names that I'm unaware of?
Lots of my citations won't insert correctly. The authors' names are done last name, first name (hit return),(repeat for next author). I try entering initials with periods after them, without periods after them, 2 spaces between, no spaces between, and so on. But Mendelay insists on inserting the first name or initials in APA-style cites. Does anyone know what is going on?

et al not working
Hi, I have a small problem with my Bibliography output. I created a copy of the ieee.csl and renamed it. Inside this file I changed the bibliography line to:
bibliography entry-spacing="0" second-field-align="flush" et-al-min="3" et-al-use-first="1"
since I have some items with a lots of authors, I would like to have just the first few and then et al.
If I now use this style and export it as bibtex entry, all authors are there and no et al.
Is there anything else I have to change to get a reduced author list?

Word for Mac | All citations chanced after adding a new one.
Dear Mendeley-Team,
I have used Mendeley for a long time now and had no problem at all. Since now.
I using Mendeley Desktop for Mac 1.11 and Word for Mac 2011 (14.4.2).
I am using Mendely Desktop for my thesis right now, using Word for Mac as my word processor. I have already insert a lot of citations. My reference list at the end of the document is fine. Everything went fine, till now. I am experiencing the following problem now: After I have added a new citation in my document, most of all citation changed. Even the new citation is a completely different one, as I have selected in search toolbar before.
Can you help me out here? If you need additional information, please let me know!
Thanks in advance

Editing the number of authors inline
I have a similar issue to the one posted here:
http://support.mendeley.com/customer/portal/questions/915467-editing-the-number-of-authors-inline
I'm trying to use the Biotechnology and Bioengineering citation style. Even though the inline citations 'et-al-min' was set to 3 by default, the author list was not abbreviated when citations were inserted. For example, instead of (Kostelecky et al, 2006), I got (Kostelecky, Pohl, Vogel, Schilling, & Meyer-klaucke, 2006). The author list was abbreviated when there are five or more authors in the list.
Please advise, thank you.

When I highlight documents on my ipad they only stay highlighted on my ipad. When opening the file on either the website or the desktop application no highlights are present.
I followed the syncing directions to the letter. Have the newest version of the software. The notes I made on the articles is syncing fine. Only the highlights are missing.

Is there a way to view the number of times an author is cited in a folder of articles?
I have a long list of publications in a folder and I'm wondering if there is a way to see the number of times a given author shows up? Basically, I'm trying to figure out who publishes most frequently on a given topic.
Thanks.

Bib-export: missing whitespaces after special characters
Hi,
There seems to be a bug in the bib-export:
this is the filename, which was created by Mendeley (for example):
Østerlie, Almklov, Hepsø - 2012 - Dual Materiality and Knowing in Petroleum Production.pdf
but my bib-export leaves out the whitespace after the special character:
Østerlie, Almklov, Hepsø- 2012 - Dual Materiality and Knowing in Petroleum Production.pdf
I do not know, whether this only applies to filenames. It would be great, if you could fix it.
Best regards,
Gerit Wagner

Add "Working Paper" to working papers
Hi,
I am trying to change the settings of a bibliography style in a way that references categorized as Working Paper automatically report the text "Working Paper" in the Word bibliography. I tried by adding a conditional sub-line in the layout (conditional on style=Article) but it does not seem to work.
Also, more generally I would like to have the possibility to indicate the type of working paper (e.g. Working Paper n.# NBER) accordingly with a related field in a reference (Series).
I found a previous post with some indications but I could not make it anyway. In particular the main problem is that I do not find the type Working Paper among the possible conditions and I do not find Series among the possible variables to be indicated.
Thanks in advance for an hint.
Best,
Stefano

Clean the tag suggestions (repost)
Hello,
This question was closed without resolution before (http://support.mendeley.com/customer/portal/questions/1518710-clean-the-tag-suggestions). I'm having the same issue. We have a lot of old tag versions/variations that clog up the suggested list. A tag (we use product names) that has an extra space, or is truncated. I want to delete these. I'm just a user vs. an admin. Does this need to be done on the Admin's computer? And I'm on Mac vs. PC. I didn't see a cache folder, though is it most likely just a hidden directory?
Thank you!

Does unchecking "Synchronize attached files" REMOVE existing PDFs that have been synced?
Hello,
The subject pretty much encompasses the question. I tried finding the answer in the existing questions and could not, though I'm sure it's been asked before...basically, what is the method by which I can *remove* PDFs that have been synced to the online library, while keeping the references (and the originals on my PC)? I have the PDFs on my computer and am backing them up via a different method; I just don't want the PDFs synced to my Mendeley account and taking up space out of my precious 2GB. But a bunch of them have already done so, so how do I detach the PDF from the already synced files without removing it from the library entirely?

Information from Mendeley to MS Word
Hi
I am new to Mendeley and still struggling to familiarise myself with all the features. Once I've uploaded all articles and reference list for a particular topic/study, how do I get that information (all reference details) back to Word. I've tried export (but one has to download programmes), I've tried copy and paste, but nothing works. I'm obviously doing something wrong. Can anyone help please?
