When I insert a citation with 5 authors, it displays all 5 authors instead of the first author and then et al. I’ve changed the APA style for first and consectutive appearances to show et al if more than 3 authors but it still doesn’t show? Thanks ![2015-03-21 20_04_17-EndNote X7.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/endnote/original/2X/4/4d0f826e06a1736377b361978c319ba7e25affcf.jpeg) ![2015-03-21 20_04_28-PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION REPORT.docx - Word.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/endnote/original/2X/9/9dee0c48fd218cd727e2e471c49653397694be56.jpeg) ---

I’e saved it as a new name and changed the settings in that new one but I don’t know what you mean by changing it in the manuscript? ---
