Why does Mendeley Cite not appear in the 'References' tab in Word?

Last updated on April 02, 2024

Users who are using Microsoft Word 2016 will notice that after installing Mendeley Cite, the add-in will disappear from the 'References' tab once Microsoft Word is closed and reopened. This is because Microsoft Word 2016 does not support add-ins that were downloaded from Microsoft AppSource to remain within the ribbon tabs in Microsoft Word after it is closed, and the add-in will disappear from the ribbon. Microsoft have stated that they will not be implementing a fix for this.

To access Mendeley Cite after you have installed it in Word 2016, you will need to access it through the add-ins menu. To do this, click on the 'Insert' tab and select the 'My Add-ins' option. Here you should see a menu load which contains Mendeley Cite.
