Default APA Style Citations

I am using the references feature and set to the APA style. When I try to
add a citation for a paper with the same author as another paper, I am
getting the title of the paper in the citation. The years of the paper are
different. How can I get rid of this unnecessary title in the citation
itself.

Default APA Style Citations

You can try suppressing the title by right clicking on the citation in your
document and selecting "Edit Citation...". But the APA style supported by
Word isn't really fully APA compliant.

Default APA Style Citations

It does the same thing in Chicago style. Clearly it was set up by
someone who has never read or written a research paper.

What you can do, for every individual citation, is hover over the
citation till the frame appears with a menu arrow (or right-click?)
and choose Edit Citation. There you can uncheck the box for "title."

That's also where you'd put in a, b, etc. for different items from the
same author and year. Word is unable to comprehend that common
practice.

Thank you. That was what I needed. Don't like that I must do it for all,
but at least I can do it.
