Please comment and let me know if this was helpful to you. The solution was to put the global template Mendeley-1.7.1.dotm in the Autostart folder instead of the Startup folder, which seems to be the normal folder for global templates from what I have read. (Alternatively, you may also find this file in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Mendeley Desktop\wordPlugin folder)Ĥ) Browse to C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\Autostartĥ) Paste the file in the root of the folder. To make this folder visible, click Organize in the window toolbar -> Folder and search options -> View tab -> Hidden files and folders -> Show hidden files, folders, and drives)

Remember also that the AppData folder is hidden. (The path might be slightly different on your machine.

The solution for me was a slight modification of one of the Mendeley agent’s suggested solutions:ġ) Install MS Word plugin from the Tools menu in Mendeley Desktop.Ģ) Browse to C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\Startup I searched the Mendeley support forum and found out that I was not alone having a problem with the automatic installation of the MS Word plug-in from the Tools menu.

However, when I tried to install the MS Word plugin on my computer, running a 64-bit Windows 7 Professional operating system and Microsoft Word 2010, the plug-in would not show up in the ribbon under References as “Mendeley Cite-O-Matic”. The desktop application is great so far with many nice features such as collaboration, a web app, iPad app, and a citation plug-in for Microsoft Word. I recently installed the free reference manager Mendeley.
