Intext citation showing [first names, last names, year] instead of [last name, year]
I have a word document with about 100 in-text citations. Only one shows the initials of the first name, ie. (N. W. Hatch & Dyer 2004) instead of (Hatch & Dyer 2004). I use APA 6ed. I experimented with different output styles, added and deleted creators, added and deleted items, etc. but with no avail.
I use zotero version 2.1.5. and word plugin 3.1.

We have an improved APA style with more sophisticated disambiguation:
Install the style from here:
https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/raw/master/apa.csl
(right click on the link --> save link as... then drag apa.csl file to an open FF window).
Unfortunately, at this time the style will frequently be overwritten - if you want to prevent that, you can change the style ID

or you'll have to repeated re-install the file.
