Problem with et-al in italic and year-date in normal font

calamityloise

Hi every one,

I hope i am not starting a new convo for something that has already been answered, however I could not find anything about it.

I have an issue on Word 2010. I want the citations to show the "et al." in italics, which works fine, but now in word it keeps putting the rest of the citation in italics as well, that is to say whatever comes after et al.: year date, reference page etc.

On the visual editor, it looks fine, and it validates also on the csl validator. It's only in word that it acts like that

I tried to add a group in the citation, in font normal, but then the et al is no longer in italics.

thanks a lot for any thought

please post the style somewhere and provide a link (e.g. a public gist on gist.github.com )

I'm a beginner, so the style is probably not properly rationalized, like too many groups, and stuff like that, but i'm out of ideas

Thanks!

Hey everyone,
So any idea on this ? Or is there no solution?
Thx

did you try this in a fresh Word document? I can't actually replicate the problem, but I also don't have Word here to test.
