APA 6th

EndNote EndNote Styles, Filters, and Connections

I have edited my output style (APA 6th copy) to look like (Ellis et al., 2000) when there are 3 or more authors. Then EN keeps showing it in the body of the Word doc as Smith, Jones, Chen and Green, 2009. I dont want this.  I must have missed something in changing the style. as when looking at the style it says if more than 6 authors, list the 1 and et. al. others.

 Does anyone know.?

Thanks for your reply Leanne,

I have done what you advised in both first time and subsequent in the Citation author list and Bibliography changing this to 6 or more authors, list the 1st one and abbreviate with et.al. but this does not appear to change within my document as I would like such as Smith et al., 2009.  Can you advise me further.

Thanks Evan

When exiting the APA 6th dialog box after modifying the settings to 3 or more authors the changes will be saved to a new file named: APA 6th Copy.  Did you:

1.  Change EndNote and MS Word to use the new output style file (APA 6th Copy)? 

  1.  If you did make the change but still don’t see the change in author names did you try unformatting then reformatting the in-text citations?
