Editing Citation
I would like to cite the author names in a particular way as follows: When the number of authors are two, their short names will be separated by 'and' (e.g. X and Y,2011). If the number of authors is greater than 3, then the citation will contain only the name of the first author without et al. (X, 2011).
Please suggest if it is possible to add such a modification with the Visual CSL editor.
Thanks in advance

Error inserting new citations
Hi,
I have the latest (1.11) version of Mendeley and am having trouble inserting new citations. I am using Word for Mac 12.3.2 and I get a plug-in error that won't allow a new citation.

Reference order (Vancouver/Nature) in text boxes in Word
Hi,
The order of references in my bibliography is wrong when using Mendeley, when the citations are in text boxes.
I.e. on page 2 of my document are 3 references in text boxes (say number 4, 5, & 6), and on page 3 are 3 more references (which are coming up as number 1, 2, & 3)
Shouldn't this be the other way round? Is there any way of changing it or in these styles is it correct to have text box citations after normal text?
Using Windows 8/Office 2013.
Thanks

Open file location
I have this problem from time to time. Say I am looking for a specific paper but I don't find it in the folder I expected. So I search in all documents and found it. Next, I really want to know which folder is this paper belongs to now and I want to know what else are in that folder.
You know windows has a function that you right click the file you found and choose "open file location", and the folder it belonging to will pop out. Is there a similar way I can find the folder in Mendeley? (Not the real folder in the computer which store the actual files, but the classification folder in Mandeley.) This will help a lot with better file arrangement.
Thank you.

Cite while you write plugin
I am running the most recent version of Mendeley desktop and although in the guide to installing the cite while you write plugin it suggests open office is supported, when I try to install I'm only seeing MS word and web importer plugins. Is there something I can do? I'm running open office and not keen to purchase MS word unless absolutely necessary. I have looked at some of the automatic answers and I should say I don't have word installed and I'm on a windows 8 PC.
Many thanks,

Cannot install MS Word Plugin
Hi,
When I try to install the MSWord plugin using Mendeley Desktop I get the following error message:
'Unable to install the Microsoft Word plugin
Sorry, there was a problem installing the Mendeley Word Plugin. Please re-install Mendeley Desktop and try again'
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and this doesn't help. I've tried changing the General_HttpServerPort to 5001 and 5003 and this doesn't help.
I'm using the latest version of Microsoft Office Word 2007 and I'm running Windows 7 service pack 1.
What can I do, the word plugin is a vital function of any reference manager and if it cannot function correctly I will need to switch to another piece of software.

After updating to 1.11 'Welcome to Mendeley Desktop' appears
After updating to Mendeley Desktop version 1.11, I keep seeing the 'Welcome to Mendeley Desktop' screen. How can I skip this screen?
However, I do not want to connect with my online account and synchronize. I have an offline library 'online.sql' that I want to use.
How is this possible?

Changing citations when you change styles?
I am trying to change from APA to AMA style and export the document (journal requirement--no referencing software fields). All citations entered in APA and AMA styles look fine, but when I export the document, it CHANGES the references. Goes to another folder, picks up a reference from there, and inserts it in place of several citations in the document. I have done this 3 times and it does it every time. WTH is going on??

Wrong PDF file links in the BibTex file exported by Mendeley
When exporting the references from Mendeley to a BibTex file the PDF links of file names with no ASCII characters are wrong. For example, I get \o in file name! You should fix this.
Sample BibTex entry:
@ARTICLE{Bendsøe2005,
author = {Bends\o e, Martin P and Lund, Erik and Olhoff, Niels and Sigmund, Ole},
title = {{Topology optimization – broadening the areas of application by}},
journal = {Control and Cybernetics},
year = {2005},
volume = {34},
pages = {7--36},
number = {1},
abstract = {This paper deals ...},
file = {:D\:/_jnrvilhena/phd/thesis/references/Bends\o e et al. - 2005 - Topology optimization – broadening the areas of application by.pdf:pdf},
keywords = {fluids,laminates,multiphysics,pressure loads,topology optimization},
url = {http://matwbn.icm.edu.pl/ksiazki/cc/cc34/cc3412.pdf}
}

Mendeley Bibtex Overwrite?
I would like to cite an interview manually in my work. I can do this by updating the .bib file I manually generated using Mendeley Desktop. However, I'm wondering, when Mendeley updates my .bib file, does it essentially re-write the file? If so, in theory, it will wipe my manual insertion, and therefore, I should create the citation in a separate file.
In general, since Mendeley is so academic document oriented, it's harder to cite other types of either other specialized documents and non-textual sources. Is there a way to integrate citations from Mendeley with other citations?

journal article without DOI - how do I include the URL?
In my APA style manual, it specifies that if you have a journal article without a DOI, you should include the URL of the journal when possible. I have a stable URL that I would like to include in my bibliography, but I'm not sure how to tell Mendeley to do this. When I just manually add "Retrieved from ..." to my bibliography reference, it is removed when my referenced are updated automatically by Mendeley. Any help would be appreciated!
