Question: Q: Mendeley plugin for Pages for Mac. Trying to drop Word for Pages for Mac and one of the biggest obstacles is the lack of integration from Mendeley to Pages. There doesn't seem to be any plugin. But is there any workaround to integrate references from Mendeley onto Pages? Dragging and Dropping simply puts in the whole reference so. If Word 2007 or Word 2010 crashes with the Mendeley Word plugin active, when you restart the program, the program will have deactivated the plugin for safety reasons. To re-enable it, please follow the steps below. Press the arrow next to the quick access toolbar at the top-left corner of Word.
One of the great built-in features in Mendeley is without a doubt the citation plugin for your word processor of choice.

We’re continuously working to improve the efficiency and general user interface of this plugin because we feel it is an important component within Mendeley Desktop and your overall research workflow.

That being said, I’d like to touch on a small aspect that many Mendeley citation plugin users are probably unaware of. If you add multiple citations at the same time, the appropriate citation style is used for such situations. For example, if you were citing 3 articles and they were the 3rd, 4th and 5th citations added, they’d probably be added as follows 3-5 (if using a numeric inline citation style format like “Nature Genetics”.). However, if you went in to the document and wanted to add another reference in that bundle, it would show up as 3-5 6. That is not good.
Quick solution? Delete the citations and add all four together. Which would mean remembering which reference they were, selecting all four and adding them in again.
Better solution? Merge the citations! Just select the 3-5 and 6 citation and then go to your citation plugin options in your word processor and select Merge citations. The end result should be 3-6. No need to go track down the references again. Just select, merge. Done.

Open your Word document. Place your cursor where you would like to insert the citation.
