Referencing styles
The referencing styles provided in word do not follow the rules required, or
at least the rules required of me. for eg. APA; in the bodytext citation for a reference it lists up to 5 or 6 authors rather than using 'et al.' Can I change how this works either by customising APA style or by creating my own referencing style? |

Referencing styles
Sorry, the Citation Manager can only be customized by digging into the
code and at present there seems to be no documentation on how to customize the code, so that's not very feasible. Apparently you would need to know XSLT, which may be a subset of XML. You should be able to manually edit the citations as the last thing done before you print, I think. I think the Office Button takes you to Word Options and somewhere there is a way you can report this to MS, as you should.
