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?
I know I am bit late, but I hope this helps others. To change how many authors to show using a reference, you should change a setting in an xml file.
The file location is C:\Users\<userfolder>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Bibliography\Style, and you should change the variable maxCItationAuthors.
<xsl:variable name="maxCitationAuthors" select="change to a number you prefer"/>
