Maybe for the bug of copying from the Master to the Current list where the Journal has a large number of authors, you can create a function on the website side before download to xml that if the list of authors exceeds x number of authors, only export the first author and the second author is Et al.
Thanks, works with Bibtex references, except that the Bibliography says "There are no sources in the current document." when it's already added the citations, and I can switch to various styles, but not IEEE 2006. Helpfully, the fact that the bibliography will fail appears in the preview when inserting the citations. There is a message saying "! Update Citations and Bibliography". Clicking on this in the page or on the menu does nothing and I don't see any button enabling this. The search within Word also returns nothing.
It's like there is a step missing! I actually cannot get this same result - I have exported my list from mendeley but how does it magically get across to MS word referencing list? I have literally watching this over and over to see what I am missing and it is doing my head in!
At 1:28 he hits browse. He downloaded the references into the Downloads folder by default. Once you hit Browse navigate to where the files are downloaded.
Hi Arvin, I had the same issue. I got around it in Word by selecting "Manage Sources", select the reference in "Current List", select "Edit", and then modifying the "Tag Name" in the bottom left. The auto-imported tag names are really long, so I usually shorten it to around 20 characters or so. Hit "yes" when it prompts you to update both the current list and the master list with this change. This got rid of the error for me, I hope it helps for you too.
Even after inserting reference in ms word, it does not update mendeley cite in word. I wonder why these two not synchronized with each other. Reference is already inserted into mendeley refrence manager but still not showing in mendeley cite in word.
I have an article or research paper in PDF or Word and I want to add all or few references of this article into my Mendeley library, how can I do it? Please guide.
help!! I have done exactly what you do in this video, but after I imported the xml-file to references, the preview of citation doesn't look like yours at all. Every citation from the list looks like this: (Tittle of the article, year). That's all! (and yes, the brackets are there also, which doesn't look like that in the video).Even the autors are not included, not to mention doi, volume, page number, etc. Can someone help me please?

This video shows how to import references from Mendeley into MS Word. My question is the other way around. How can I import from MS Word into Mendeley?
Your company makes $2.5 billion every year yet when I try to insert my references only 20 out of 76 of them show up and they are not correctly formatted. What a waste of time. The only reason I tried to use your garbage software is because the journal I am submitting is requiring me to use citation software and recommended Mendeley. I spent hours just manually re-entering all of my references on to your desktop application only to find out that it can't even insert a bibliography correctly. Elsevier is the worst.
