You can also use BibTeX to format references as .bib-files and to import them into LaTeX.
Option 2: install the "Get Mendeley Cite" Microsoft add-in.

- You go to Microsoft Word and click on the right on “Trust this add-in”
- Sign in to your Mendeley Account
- Your references from your library appear in the right screen
- This add-in appears under the tab References (Verwijzingen). If not go to Insert\My Add-ins\Select Mendeley Cite\Insert
