Default citation in brackets instead of parenthesis

p0,

I've read some of questions and answers and it looks like changing the
citation format is a common problem. I will try to see what I can do with the
code.

I'm using APA as a style.

Another question:

Sometimes I use the author(s) as subject when starting a sentence, in this
case I would like just the year in brackets. Is this possible?

Thanks

Thanks

2. When I have more than one author in a reference, I would like to get the
first author's last name along with et al. (to indicate there is more than 1
author), instead of getting all the names of the authors?


Which style are you talking about?

To make changes to the style, you will have to dig into the xslt code
of a style. According to most people a rather complex thing. All
styles can be located in the Word 2007 folder\Bibliography\Style
folder.

A small tutorial, which should help you with your first question if
you have at least some basic xslt knowledge, can be found at

Your second question is a bit harder to solve but still manageable if
you can tell me the style you are using.
