Upgrade Storage693089427: APA 7 In-text citation keeps including initials for first/middle name
If I try to add the in text citation using Word Add-on (Windows), it keeps on including the author's first name or middle name initials. However, if I were to manually copy the citation and then paste it in Word, it'll come as it should be - Author, Year.

This is just an example... it doesn't happen for every citation, but for a few, it keeps on making that error. I have had to correct them numerous times, but then when I click update, it just goes back to what it was before, the incorrect citation.
