I used to have endnote and if was easier but expensive. As I have only access to Mendeley I would like the et al of my bibliography in word to be italicised automatically.
I don't have an idea about how to do that in mendeley. However, in microsoft words, highlight just one et al in your work, press control F, click REPLACE ALL and type et al in the box REPLACE WITH, highlight the et al, press CONTROL I and click OK. All the et als in your work would be in italics. I hope this would solve the problem.
