"et al"

EndNote EndNote How To
1

Hello!

I am using Endnote X7, APA 6th, and Word 2011 for MAC. I am trying to get Endnote to cite one author plus et al when there are more than 3 authors. And when there’s 2 authores, to cite only the first.

I already tried this that I found in this forum:

"Edit > Output styles > Edit “APA 6th”, then Citations/Author Lists, and it is currently ticked for:

“abbreviated author list - first appearance: if 6 or more authors, list the first 1 and abbreviate with et al in italics”

“abbreviated author list - subsequent appearance: if 3 or more authors, list the first 1 and abbreviate with et al in italics”"

and it didn’t work…

Please help!

Thank you in advance.

After editing the output style, did you give it a new name, and did you change to use that new style in the document you are editing, on the endnote ribbon or format bibliography dialog box?  Changing to it in Endnote is not good enough, and naming it the same as it was leads to two copies of the file in two different places so you aren’t sure which one is being used.
