Default APA style citation inline

In Chicago style, if there are three or fewer authors, all are listed
every time. If there are more than seven, you can et al. them even at
the very first citation.

I agree, this is a style of citation that should be added.

I am also wondering why when you enter an intext citation for a source with
more than 2 authors, why are all the author listed? I believe it is common
practice in many styles to list as (Author, et al, Year) when there are
several authors.
I am searching for a solution please.

Hi,


I really like the new bibliography functions within Word 2007, but I have an
additional request for the APA style referencing.
The only way of referencing currently seems to be: "... (Author, Year)."
When using a APA reference in text like: "Accoring to Author (Year) ..."
a different format is being used.


It is possible to create this kind of reference, but the option I use is to
translate the citation into static text and then remove the parenthesis..


I don't think there is a better way to accomplish this. Can this be added?
