Citation inconsistenty with author initials
Using Word 2007 on a PC with Vista: Using the exact same settings to add a
new source in Citations and Bibliography's ADD A NEW SOURCE.... CREATE SOURCE using the APA style... I enter many sources and the in-text citation appears correctly: Surname, A.A. - the in-text citation reads correctly (Surname, DATE) I enter a source and use exactly the same format as the others, but inconsistently, the in-text citation appears with the title (simple to correct by EDIT CITATION and suppress the title), but if ONE of the author's initials appear I cannot correct it: I enter: Another, A.A. - the in-text citations reads incorrect (Another A., DATE) I deleted the entry and tried again, I added more spaces, less spaces, with and without fullstops. It seems we have an inconsistency here. |

Hello, Could you be more precise on how to reproduce the problem with only 2 or 3 sources? For example: Add the following sources: Citation 1: Type of Source: Journal Article Author: some names here Title: some title here Year: 1978 City: Boston Citation 2 Type of Source: Book Author: some more names here Title: some other title here Year: 2008 City: Cape Town I'm asking because I can't reproduce your problem at the moment. I'm not fully skilled in the use of APA, but it seems strange that APA would display the title by default. If I'm not mistaken (and I very well could be), the title is only displayed if the authors of the different works are equal or something. So suppressing the title in that case might influence the formatting somehow. Yves -- http://www.codeplex.com/bibliography |
