Default Use of Chicago Style citations

The formatting algorithm causes this behaviour. It's not something you
'select' voluntarely. If I'm not mistaken Microsoft follows the
following 'algorithm' for in-text citations in the Chicago style:

IF there is no author, title and year THEN
display tag
ELSE IF there is no author THEN
display title and year
ELSE IF there is an author, but he is not unique (no idea how they
define/check this) THEN
display author, title and year
ELSE (this is what you will see most of the time)
display author and year

I have no clue as to this being the correct Chicago style or not
though.

Of course, once you start suppressing parts, it might look different.
There is a small error when you have added pages or a volume to a
specific in-text citation and suppress the author (and title) so that
only the year and pages will be displayed. Luckely, that error can be
solved easily.
