Patience is a virtue. You don't have to ask the same question multiple
times, just wait till someone comes along who can answer it.
the following is copy/pasted from my original reply
There is no on/off switch for the brackets. Your choices are to either keep
them, or remove them altogether. If you want to remove them for all
instances, you will have to edit the style by hand.
The short version:
http://bibword.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=FAQ
(especially 6 and 8 are useful)
The long version (in case you don't know XSL):
The styles are located in the
winword.exe\Bibliography\Style
directory. Assuming a normal 32-bit OS with a default Office 2007
installation, that directory is
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Bibliography\Style
The style you want to edit is located in APA.XSL. Create a copy of the file
and name it MyAPA.XSL. Open the file with a text editor (notepad, ...) and
look for the following lines:
xsl:when test="b:OfficeStyleKey"
xsl:textAPA/xsl:text
/xsl:when
and change it to
xsl:when test="b:StyleName"
xsl:textAPA without brackets/xsl:text
/xsl:when
Now when you start Word, there will be an extra style in the dropdown list,
labeled "APA without brackets".
Next you want to remove the brackets. Look for
xsl:if
test="msxsl:node-set($ListPopulatedWithMain)/b:Citation/b:FirstAuthor"
xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_OpenBracket"/
/xsl:if
and remove it. This will remove the opening bracket. Then look for
xsl:if test="/b:Citation/b:LastAuthor"
xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_CloseBracket"/
/xsl:if
and remove it. This will remove the closing bracket. You should be all set
now.

On a related note, how can I change the style sheet so that parantheses
don't
automatically appear around a citation. For example "Tomaskovic-Devey
(1993)
concluded..." should have the citation in paranthesis.

Hi Peter & Yves,
I realize that it's Chicago style. The issue is that there seems to be
a
preference from the one reviewer to have the inline citations only
listing 3
authors max and the year; but a different reviewer wants to have the
bibliography in APA style.
My situtation is that I must make the changes to get the signature from
the
reviewers then send it to an editor who will ask for specific and final
formating changes. I expect to put everything back to a uniform style
when
all is done, but in the mean time I have to deal with some non-uniform
ideas
about citation styles.
When your reviewers are scientists sometimes the style they think is
correct
is not the correct style they think it is.
This is a rather frustrating situation, and hence why I'm asking for code
so
I can switch back easily.
But in the mean time I'm stuck making small (ish) changes to the current
styles.
At least all the changes to my thesis that are required are messing with
styles, and sentence structures.
Thanks Yves for all your help I will try to switch the numbers I missed
and
see if it works.

I have another question on the same topic.
Is there any way to alter the code to give me
xsl:when test="(position() = 1 and $cAuthors 3)"
rather then the current APA setting of six:
xsl:when test="(position() = 1 and $cAuthors 6)"
Again I've had a reviewer request that I use et al anytime more then
three
authors are listed.
That's Chicago style. You'd better check with your editor or publisher
as to whether that's acceptable in APA style.
I tried just altering the $cAuthors 3
that gives me
(first authors et al second author third author....sixth author)
not exactly what I need.... but closer
Thanks.
