Default Citation style

The best you can do is select the citation, choose Edit Citation from
the drop-down, check "Suppress Author" -- and type the author name
outside the citation field, in the main text.

Or, once your work is absolutely finalized, convert the citation(s) to
plain text and move the parenthesis.

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.

Is there any way to alter the code to give me

*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

Default Citation style

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.

Or edit the style so there are never any brackets...
