  1. Hi, the mentioned steps are temporary since the error message would appear once the Word is fully closed and reopened. For a permanent fix, we need to remove the Mendeley plugin from Word's Startup location. Corresponding KB: https://support.clarivate.com/Endnote/s/article/EndNote-Cannot-Edit-Range?language=en_US
