The Mendeley Cite add-in for Microsoft® Word allows you to easily insert references from your Mendeley library into your Word document, change your citation style and generate a bibliography - all without leaving your document. Mendeley Cite is a free, simple add-in for Microsoft Word versions 2016 and above, with the Microsoft Word app for iPad® and with Microsoft Word Online. 

Look for the Install link in the Tools menu of your Mendeley Reference Manager for Desktop. Please look at the Getting Started with Mendeley Cite guide for help.

Please note: The older Citation Plugin works only with the older Mendeley Desktop. See How do I migrate from the original Mendeley Desktop to Mendeley Reference Manager? for information on migrating from the Plugin to Mendeley Cite.
