An issue with the in-text citation based basically on APA style (conflict)
I have based my Word document on APA style. Therefore, the in text-citation should appear something like ( last name, date), however , sometimes ( not for all entries) it shows like ( first name initials Last name, date).
This caused me a problem with my supervisor and consumed time to fix every instance manually.
I really hope to find a solution.....

For example, this article:
Factors Affecting Customer Initial Trust in the Mobile Payment Service Providers: An Empirical Study.
the authors are
Hengliang Wu and Weiwei Zhang
the citation comes to be (H. Wu & Zhang, 2017)
Having this disambiguation feature caused me some hassle. I read the post of how to fix it but unfortunately it worked in the ''style preview'' panel only and didn't work in the Word document it self.
I followed these instructions

Any help to get ride of this feature
But if you do want to modify APA -- are you changing title and id and re-installing it as a new style?
But, if your journal/publisher asks for APA style, you should leave the disambiguation in. This is correct APA style.
I have to use the APA style but my supervisor doesn't prefer the disambiguation feature and every time tells me to use the correct APA style.
It seems my problem resides in how to save the style after editing. At the style editor when I do any change I cannot save it. I only have the option to Save As . I tried to give it another name and reinstall it but failed.
@bwiernik
It worked well.
@adamsmith
But how I can change the title and id of the style?
