After "Exclude Year" --> Comma behind author name cannot be removed

Hello,

I have to cite like (Author, Year), or intext: Author (Year).

For example: This hypothesis was never confirmed (Krugman, 1990).

Or alternatively:Krugman (1990) found that this hypothesis was never confirmed.

When I use the first option (Author, Year) I have no problems. However, if I use the second option, I insert the citation twice and exclude the year from first insertion, then I put paranthesis around the second insertion and exclude the author from it. The result is the following:

Krugman, (1990) found…  The problem is the comma after the author which is not needed her.

Are there any suggestions how to solve this problem??? I tried to edit the citation template using “forced separations” and these “linked adjacent text” things, but couldn’t get somewhere.

Thanks for your help!

Stefan

Edit: I use EndNote X2 with Word 2007

Thanks for your answer. How do I “unlink” an inserted field so that it is not a function anymore but only plain text?
