How to list an author that contains multiple commas in X5?

Hello,

I have a number of references in which the author is an organization that has one or more commas in its name–for example, “Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor”. 

When viewing refs like these in APA 6th format, the author shows up as something like “Bureau of Democracy, H. R., and Labor.”

Is there any way to enter an author like this such that the correct name shows up in the final bibliography? Or are there any preferences I can change to make it so that a comma isn’t the character that signifies a separation between an author’s first and last name?

Thank you in advance for any help.

If there is a comma in the organization name, enter a double comma in place of the first comma like the following:

Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor

The only problem with this is that in the citation, only the first part will be used as the “author” in and (Author, Year) citation.

If you are using an Author-Date format, that is correct for in-text citations. A workaround in this case would be to use the Edit & Manage Citation(s) dialog to exclude the author and then add the full author name to the Prefix including any spacing and punctuation needed. This article provides information on accessing the Edit & Manage Citation(s) dialog in order to exclude the author and add the Prefix:
