Removing the links to your Mendeley library when your document is ready to submit

When you are submitting your paper to an instructor or an editor/publisher, it is best to give them a copy that is "flattened", or in other words has the links to your Mendeley library removed.  The in text citation and bibliography then becomes simple text that you can hand edit.  This support document on the Mendeley support website has instructions to flatten a Microsoft Word document for both PC and Mac users.
