I find it quite difficult to modify a citation style. The requested style was almost similar to the one used by The Lancet. I downloaded the Lancet style, changed its name to MyNewStyle and stored it in the citationstyle subdirectory in the Mendeley directory. I then modified it. It was simple : instead of 3 authors followed by et al, the journal requested 6 authors and et al. Found and done in a few seconds thanks to the Citation Visual Editor that appeared very intuitive and simple to use. But then, I could not have my new style in the citation box in microsoft Word 2003 I use. Is it necessary to go through the styles stored on the CSL site ? Is it not sufficient to put the new style in the subdirectory ? Can you help me ?
Thanks in advance.
