Word doesn not use "et al." in citations using APA standard
When inserting citations, Word writes e.g. (Sørensen, Olesen, & Olesen, 2018) instead of (Sørensen et al., 2018). Is there a setting to change this?
The citation tool in Word uses APA version 6. I believe the recommendations in the most recent version of APA makes more frequent use of "et al." You may have to use a third-party tool to get fully updated formats.
