Hi,
I love using Mendeley for managing bibliography.
I use Mendeley MS Word plugin for adding references automatically in MS Word documents. When I add any references in MS word document using the plugin in my laptop (Windows Vista, MS Word 2003), it perfectly works. I also use Dropbox cloud to use those documents in my office PC (Windows XP Professional MS Word 2003). Again, I can add references in MS word by using the Mendeley Plugin at my office PC. However, when I open my existing MS word files, which were edited at my laptop, all links are gone though all existing references are there!!!
Same thing happens when I open any file (created @my office PC) from my laptop, the links are gone!!
Is there any solutions?
Many thanks

Problem with Mendeley Word Plugin
Dear Mendeley Support team,
I am sorry that my question has already come up in your fora a couple of times, albeit with different versions of Mac OS and Word. But, as you might guess, I don't get the Word Plugin to work..
I am working with
Mac OS X 10.8.5
and the Word version
Word:mac2011 14.3.8
I was able to install both Mendeley Desktop for Mac OS X (September 2013 distribution) and the Word plugin yesterday (01/07/14), but the plugin does not seem to function correctly.
Word let me open the plugin, generated the toolbar, and I was even able to insert one single citation into my document, before Word crashed on me. After closing and reopening Word, Mendeley and the Mendely Word plugin toolbar, I was not longer able to use the "insert or edit citation" button. When clicking on that button in the plugin/toolbar menu, nothing happened any longer. However, I am still sometimes able to insert a citation when using the Apple Script menu shortcuts, but this crashes my Word now and again, and every insertion now automatically generates a bibliography in the middle of my document, without me having asked it to do that. So for every additional insertion, I get the bibliography inserted once more but one element longer, and the bibliography appears all over the place.
Could you please let me know whether this is a known bug and/or a problem related to my versions of the OS and/or Word version, and how I can solve this issue? I think Mendeley is a really great tool, and I would love to use it with Word for my multi-author papers (otherwise Mendeley convinced me with its BibTeX exports for LaTeX).
Thank you very much for your assistance and
best regards,
Meike

Is there a special way to cite a norm?

Thanks

automatic organization of refs in word document by year
Is it possible that cited references, after placing them into Word document, will be organized automatically chronologically?
E.g.: I put the papers: Kratter 2010; Orr 2012; Ratovitski 2012; Lam 2006
But I would like to have it sorted: Lam 2006; Kratter 2010; Orr 2012; Ratovitski 2012

Offline
Hi,
I want to have Mendeley on both my Desktop and laptop. I can't always be online. If I am working at the airport, or, as an oceanographer at sea, then I need my pdfs. How do I get all my pdfs on both computers along with all the information that i PAINSTAKINGLY entered into mendelay as I built up my bibliography? Please there must be a simple way to do this. I keep recommending Mendeley to my colleagues and now??? it seems we have a problem.

problem with Word plugin
After inserting some new reference, refreshing (via the Mendeley toolbar) and saving the word file in xml format (i.e., .docx), the document cannot be loaded anymore.
During re-loading Word stops with the error:
"The Open XML file ***.docx cannot be openend because there are problems with the contents or the file name might contain invalid characters... No error detail available, Location: 2"
I'm using Mac Word 2011 and the latest version of the Mendeley Word Plugin.
When I save the file as a .doc file (2004 word format), it is OK. So, the problem is specific to the Word xml format.
How can I find out the offending reference and how to fix it?

Can't see sub-folders in Mendeley Desktop
Hi,
I had previously set up sub-folders in Mendeley Desktop, these were synced between my PC and my laptop and visible on each and when using the Import to Mendeley plugin I can still choose to add files to these sub folders, however I can't see any sub folders under My Library any more, including Recently Added and My Publications folders. They are still visible in Mendeley Web. I can't see an obvious option to make them visible in Desktop and when I try to create a new folder nothing happens either.
Many thanks

Drag/Drop Pdf does not import abstract text
When I drag a pdf file into Mendeley Desktop, the program imports all of the bibliographic information *except* the abstract box is always blank. This requires the extra step of copying and pasting the abstract text after I've imported the document. Is there a reason abstract text is not included with the rest of citation information when dragging in a pdf? Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

links to pdf's and changes made lost
Good day!
I spent the whole of yesterday importing pdfs, reviewing and changing the details. All pdfs are made a copy of and stored in the mendeley folder. I am running 1.10. Once I was finished I used the rename file organiser and everything worked fine, and finally created a backup. This morning upon repopening mendeley, all the links were lost to the pdfs (icon changes wanting to download the document???), as well as the changes made to the details of each document were lost. This was approx 200 documents! None of the documents, were moved or deleted from their location the day before!
I tried restoring the backup, but unfortunately this didn't fix the problem! Now the icon changed to a broken link, but the changes to the documents were still lost! I need urgent help, I cannot keep on loosing long hard work like this! Upon reading alot of FAQ's it seems alot of people have similar problems, with responses being to use 1.10 as this will fix the problem. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be the case!
I am running Win 7 64x
Please help!
