For any of you who lost your Mendeley toolbar on MS word and cant get it back, I'd suggest just uninstalling Mendeley desktop and reinstalling it. All you have to do is make sure your papers are synced with your online account. I spent an hour or so trying to fix it and I just decided I'd be as quick reinstalling it. Once I did that, I got all my journals back and installed the ms word plug in and I was back up and running. Sure that's the beauty of Mendeley

As far es I know you just have to activate the plugin in the openoffice-extension-manager. Afterwards it works fine in my ubuntu-natty.

There's a critical bug in Mendeley plugin for LibreOffice/OpenOffice.org and it keeps crashing when user tries to insert a reference. (Link: http://feedback.mendeley.com/forums/4941-mendeley-feedback/suggestions/500343 ) This is very serious problem for those who uses LibreOffice/OpenOffice. I hope this problem to be fixed soon.

What is the problem? Thanks.

I'm also having issues when changing from .odt to .doc formats, Mendeley does not recognise previous citations and starts renumbering again from 1. Has anyone found a way round this yet?

For all those that complained about changing between text - based and numbers - based citation style (which was obviously not fixed), there's a new idea where you can vote and comment:

The toolbar containing "insert citation" and others are disappeared in Open Office. Although, I uninstalled and again installed open office plugin but this still does not work.

Just had a thought and it appears to have worked. I was saving my document in word (.doc) format in Openoffice. If I change the filetype to openoffice text (.odt) the citations are saved for the next editing session.

I'm having a similar problem to Nikola. When I reopen a document in Openoffice only the citations added in that session are added to the bilbliography. I'm on Ununtu 9.10 using Openoffice 3.1.1 and Mendeley 0.9.7.1 HELP!!!

I Have a similar problem as Nikola: When I "choose citation style" into something with numbers, only some citations are changed to numbers, some remain in the old "Author, Year" format. However, the reference list includes all citations, correctly numbered.
Windows 7, OpenOffice 3.2, Mendeley 0.9.6.1 -

Hello,
am having a problem with Mendeley. I am running the 0.9.6.1 version on Mac with Open Office.
If I insert some citations and save my document and restart my document at another time again, Mendeley does not recognize the citattions it filled in for me. That means if I insert a new citation for a new sentence and then click on "Insert Bibliography" he only uses the citations for the bibliography which I had inserted just at that session. Citations from earlier session are not recognized as citations anymore? How can I change that?
Because if I want to insert a bibliography when I have finished my whole thesis, it will only fill in those citations that I inserted in that session. And it would be too much work to refresh ALL citations that I have filled in days and weeks ago!And there is another problem: If I set "Citation Style" on Elsevir (with titles) Mendeley did not change all of the citations that were inserted in that session, this means that some citations were still like this: (Graupe, 2000) an others were like this: (3)
I hope you can help me with my problem so that I do not have to write my whole thesis in one session just to have all citations recognized by Mendeley.
Thank you!!!

Using Windows Vista , OpenOffice 3.1.0 and Mendeley 0.9.1 From additional limited user accounts there is no option to install the the OpenOffice plugin (although there are options for the Word and web importer plugin) under tools. The OO plugin appears to only be an option from the administrator account. Thus in order to use Mendeley with a limited user account, I have to run OO as administrator first, which is a pain-in-the-butt.

Any progress on fixing the problems with the OpenOffice plug-in for Mac? I am getting to the point where I would like to use OpenOffice/Mendeley to finish up a manuscript and start on a book, but I'm hamstrung if I can't import citations into either MS Word or OpenOffice from Mendeley. Again, I'm on a Mac PPC G5, running OS 10.4.11, if that helps. Is there anything that can be done to get the OpenOffice plug-in to work?

It doesn't work for me as well. I'm on a MacBook with the latest OS X Tiger.
Error message:
The OpenOffice unopkg utility gave the following output:2009-07-28 11:46:28.888 soffice[1604] CFLog (0): CFMessagePort: bootstrap_register(): failed 1103 (0x44f), port = 0x3f03, name = 'org.openoffice.script.ServiceProvider'

It does install the toolbar in OO however. Non of the buttons seem to do anything and the options I'd need in Mendeley Dekstop don't appear.

I'm using fedora 11 64 bits and linux_mendeleydesktop-0.9.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
I went to Tools > Install Openoffice Plugin and it worked fine.
But when I try to insert a citation, mendeley crashes throwing the folloing message:/usr/local/mendeleydesktop-0.9.1-linux-x86_64/bin/mendeleydesktop: line 3: 10079 Falha de segmentação $(dirname ${0})/../lib/mendeleydesktop/libexec/mendeleydesktop.x86_64 $@
What should I do?
