Hello.
I have a question that I would like you to help me solve.
When I call in a word document a reference to a chapter of a book, I have somethig like this:
P. K. Levangie and C. C. Norkin, “The Shoulder Complex,” in in Joint Structure and Function: a comprehensive analysis, Third Edit., Philadelphia: F. A. Davis Company, 2001.
The question is how I eliminate the double "in in" in the reference. This problem happens in all the references of book chapters.
Thank you for your help.

results
Good afternoon,
Mendeley has always worked for me. However, it now does not find the papers I look for. It gives only 2 results (whereas the website says: results 1-20), whereas there are like 250.000 results. Any idea what is going wrong here?

merge by mistake
I merged all files in a folder by mistake. After renaming the related documents, the names of these documents become XXXXXX(1),XXXXXX(2).......Then I found I could not give the right names to these documents by"rename document files".And I could not undo merge.

Insert Bibliography
Hi, I have a problem inserting my bibliography. Every time I press the button from the Cite-O-Matic, it keeps inserting the bibliography of other 2-3 journals. How can I stop this and just insert the bibliography I want?
Thank you!

PDF links broken when folder/file moved
I have many folders that Mendeley watches or that I manually add files from. In an effort to de-clutter my files, I sometimes re-arrange my folder/files to a more organized state. The problem is that when I do that, all my PDF links become broken in Mendeley. Is there a way to change this, can I upload them onto Mendeley web or into the desktop software so their path is "more secure"?
Cheers,

citation
When citing an article in word with use of plugin,
psup (arrow to the right, 'bigger as' sign) 00, is shown instead of just a superscribed 1.
When using mendeley earlier, it did automatically show the right citation number.
how do I fix this?
thanks in advance

incorrect format when author is an institution
I have a report by an institution (the FAO) and I want the institution to appear as author, but I can't find a way to enter the name of the institution in the "author" box without it treating it as if it were first and last name of an author. I entered "FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations", and when I try to use it in my bibliography it reads "FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department, F. and A. O. of the U. N.". Not good.
What should I do?
(I've seen a previous entry mentioning a box below the "author" box, but in the Mendeley version 1.10.1 for Mac this is missing, so that response is no help.)

Mendeley desktop filing not appearing in application support folder on mac
I have been trying to edit/customise a citation style in Mendeley on my mac. I have been using the information from Mendeley support for this, however when I try and locate the Mendeley folder to save my custom citation style, it is not appearing in my Application support folder.
How can I find this folder to save and use my custom citations style? And is there anywhere else I can save it to use with word?
Please help me to find this function so I can continue with my work!
Thank you.

notes extention
Is there a possibility to deliver any solution to pour notes and highlight feathers? Probably you can build in some existing .pdf processor.
Good lack!

Importing from Web
So I import from the web and I can see the link in my library on-line, but when I click ""view in desktop nothing happens,well the desktop opens but I can't find the reference/paper. I have clicked the "attach pdf" on the dektop?
Also I have noticed that a lot of pdf's I am using I have to manually enter the information. As the web importer has not been working I have downloaded a lot of pdf's and drag and drop into the desktop but even so I estimate that I manually input the relevant data.
Any help/advice would be great

Can I install Mendeley on a computer with multiple users?
I think that I need to install Mendely desktop in order to use the word plug-in, without using just the web version. However, I use a computer that is shared with multiple users. Is it possible to install the desktop version, but still have it only accessible to me when I am logged in to the computer (so that other people who use the computer do not have access to my Mendeley account?)

Import CSL styles from Zotero
I would like to use the following style (primarily designed for Zotero) in Mendeley:
http://www.zotero.org/styles/leidraad-voor-juridische-auteurs
Loading it in Mendeley is no problem because of the CSL format the style is in. However, the style uses various document types unknown by Mendeley Desktop. For example, citing (Dutch) legal cases is important to me. The 'Case' document type used by Mendeley is not suitable for this, and Mendeley does not seem to accept the document types defined in the CSL file designed for Zotero.
I guess this question relates to the following post:
"Ability to create custom Document Types
Different people care about different types of documents. Instead of trying to add every possible type centrally, it would be useful if users could add new document types and rename / delete existing ones."
answer from Mendeley team:
"This is on our roadmap for this year (2013). It’s a two step process. First we need to replace the hard-coded document types in Mendeley Desktop, and their field mappings to a more flexible system that reads from a standardised config file. This can then be shared between Desktop, iOS, and third party applications. Once this is in place, then we plan to update the document types to be in line with EndNote’s supported types, as well as consider suggestions for other popular reference types."
My question is, first of all: is it indeed not currently possible to make the CSL file listed above work in Mendeley? And secondly, will this be addressed by the solution presented above by the Mendeley team? Thirdly, is this still planned for this year?
