In-text Citation Author Limits
Hi all,
I've tried to find this in the forums, but I don't think I'm using the correct search terms. Anyways, I'm working on a paper that has a word limit and requires APA 6th edition. The requirements show in-text citations as only the first author's last name and year. e.g. (Jones, 2010). However, my in-text citations use all the authors names. e.g. (Schilero, Grimm, Bauman, Lenner, & Lesser, 2005). This has caused my paper to exceed the word count.
How can I get all my in-text to simply be 1 author and the year?
Thanks.

You'll also need to change the name of the file, ID and self link (lines 6-7) to something like apa-modified so it doesn't get overwritten with the next update.
