APA issues in Word with multiple authors
When using the Zotero plugin for Word, I can manage to insert a citation with 3 authors. Zotero lists these correctly in the document. The next time I insert the same reference, I get the first author and "et al." which is correct. If I go back to my text and insert this reference earlier in the text so that it becomes the first one in the text, the second one doesn't always automatically change to "et al." Actually, weird things are happening throughout the document when I re-insert this same reference. If I click on Refresh in the Zotero toolbar, the last reference in the text reverts to all three authors being listed. This was definitely not an issue before Zotero upgrade to v.5 this summer. I have tested with different references and on different computers and the problem persists.
1. There are three points in text (A), (B), and (C) appearing in the order listed
2. Chose APA
3. Insert a citation to a single Zotero item with 3 authors at (B)
4. Insert a citation to a single Zotero item with 3 authors at (C). (C) has et al., (B) remains unchanged
5. Insert a citation to a single Zotero item with 3 authors at (A). (A) has all authors listed, (C) and (B) remains unchanged
6. Refreshing doesn't do anything?
If I follow the sequence above I'm not seeing what you're describing - i.e. my author lists are correct.
