Edit inline citation style in word

lassec · June 30, 2013

I have downloaded an CSL file containing a style. In word it sets it up like this (Kofoed, 2007, p. 100)

I would like to change that to (Kofoed 2007:100)

Where do I set this up in the CSL-file.
I have tried looking in the documentation, but I havent been succesful.

Thanks in advance

Should not be hard. Which style ?

Thanks for you help. It's the American Psychological Association 6th Edition

You can see the code here

Replace:

    <layout prefix="(" suffix=")" delimiter="; ">
      <group delimiter=", ">
        <text macro="author-short"/>
        <text macro="issued-year"/>
        <text macro="citation-locator"/>
      </group>
    </layout>

by:

    <layout prefix="(" suffix=")" delimiter="; ">
      <group delimiter=" ">
        <text macro="author-short"/>
        <text macro="issued-year"/>
      </group>
      <text macro="citation-locator"/>
    </layout>

and the whole macro "citation-locator" by

  <macro name="citation-locator">
      <text variable="locator" prefix=":"/>
  </macro>

Thank you for your help, Gracile.

Just one problem left.
There space between year and citation locater

It looks like this
(Kofoed 2007: 100)

Instead of this
(Kofoed 2007:100)

I cant seem to find where the space gets inserted

Best regards
Lasse

I figured out a solution myself.

I removed the space from the groupdelimiter and added suffix space in the author macro.

Thank for the help to get me started.

Are you using Zotero ? That should work with it.
