When I set my et-al-min and et-al-first to blank, I would hope to see all the authors in a citation, however Mendeley is adding a "..." after 6 authors
Any idea on how I can get it to simply show all authors?

Downloaded files locked
At several instances I find that when I reopen Mendeley, the files down loaded in a previous session are locked.
Normally I first down load a file to my desktop, rename the file with key words from title of a paper. When I have downloaded all the necessary files during a search session, I open Mendeley to insert the downloaded files using the "add file" option. After inserting the files to a particularly folder I synchronise using the "Sync"button, ensure that I find the pdf and close the folder and quit the programme. Then I trash the original file from the desktop. When I open the Medley programme at a later date I find that the pdf file is locked.
Please suggest a solution. Can it be due to the URL?
I have updated for the recent bug fixes today. Thank you for addressing my issue.

Is there a way to convert citations in plain text into a Mendeley citation?
I've almost got one of our faculty convinced to use Mendeley, but she wants the ability to go back through the many bibliographies that she has written up by hand and have Mendeley translate them into items in her Mendeley library? Is this possible? Seems reasonable if the citations are correctly formatted.

Citation styles
I like Mendeley. But I find that editing citation styles is way beyond my ability. I have tried several times and failed. I would really love to continue using Mendeley in the future so I wish Mendeley could add more citation styles for journals in the dental field and medicine & health field in general. Specifically, I have been trying to edit a style for a journal called 'Oral Diseases' and 'Journal of Dental Education'. I tried searching groups and forums but ended up more confused than before. Please help.

Highlighting
Are you able to see a master document/compiled list of everything you have highlighted in individual pdfs/articles. Needing to do this when reviewing my highlights on large documents. Much thanks, Rachael

creating a complete stye
Hi,
I want to edit a citation style and need to edit all style types. In the visual style editor two bibliographic examples are offered (sole author book, book section) but I need to edit journal article, working paper etc as well.
anyone got any thoughts? I feel like this should be easy so I am probably missing a simple option.
Cheers,

DOI lookup does not work for BMJ
I don't know if you're aware of this, but DOI lookups do not work for articles from the BMJ (www.bmj.com)
This has been the case for some time now. For some older articles the lookup still works, but not for any new ones.

lost citations
I was working on a word document with 52 inserted citations using Mendeley. I have transferred the word files of the papers without changing the format and the citations appear as numbers and is imposible to modify them. The same thing happens when I have sent my article for a co-author revision and when he sent back to me, I have lost all my citationes (they appear but as numbers and is imposible to modify them)
How can I recover my citationes?
Thank you very much

Insert Bibliography in Word problem
When I use the "insert bibliography" plugin for Word all it does is display "{BIBILIOGRAPHY} " instead of actually inserting a bibliography. I inserted citations using Mendeley for this document and have tried it on two computers that both have my library.
Any sage words of wisdom? It seemed to work great when I did a practice round, but now when it actually counts I can't seem to make it work.

Needs Review
Is there an option to have all added documents automatically marked as Needs Review? Often times I will notice that a newly added document is not makers as Needs Review even though the information entered is not exactly correct. Needs Review should be the default setting for added documents and a manual selection of 'Details are correct' should be required to remove the tag. Otherwise I have NO idea which articles I have actually checked with my own eyes to make sure the information is right.
When I make citations and reference lists I like to know which ones ACTUALLY have correct information. But instead each time I make a new reference list I have to check each source to make sure it has the right information, even if I have checked it for a previous reference list.
Theoretically the Needs Review tag is an great option and would increase productivity but since it is not the default setting for added documents in reality it is not meaningful.

Urgent deadline! Can't update/transfer/copy bibliography
Hello. I recently cited 100 references to a document and produced a bibliography OK. I emailed the doc. Then I opened it in a new computer, downloaded Mendeley Desktop, logged in, and when I tried to update the emailed document all the Mendeley code had gone, and the bibliography no longer updated.
Is there a way I can update the references working on the emailed document? If not, if I were to cut and paste onto a flash drive, would I have the same problem?
Can Mendeley references only be edited in the original file and computer?
Is there any form of doing a collaborative document, whereby different members of a group work on the same document from different Mendeley accounts and add their own refs to the text?
Thanks for an urgent answer as I have a deadline and did not count on this problem.

I really need this problem fixed, my work depends on this.

Mendeley plugin causing Word 2011 (14.3.9) to crash constantly
Hello,
I have repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled both the plugin and Mendeley desktop to no avail- when I try and operate Word with the Mendeley plugin it crashes, sometimes immediately, sometimes after a few minutes with the document inactive, always after I try and insert a citation. Whenever I uninstall the plugin Word reverts to working just fine. I have the latest version of Word running on my Macbook Pro, and this is very frustrating. Incidentally, I had the same problem with EndNote, which is why I decided to try Mendeley instead. I much prefer the platform, but it will not be nearly as useful as I'd hoped if I cannot use it with Word.
Thank you,
Emily
