Citing an author in a sentence

marklimb
Is there a way to cite an author in-line in a sentence? For example, "Jones (2016) said..."

I note that I can exclude author from the citation but then I need to manually type the author/s' name/s which potentially introduces errors. I'm looking for Zotero to still insert the author just in this different format.

Thanks!

    Currently excluding the author, i.e. suppress author, is the only option. A simpler option is planned, but no ETA.

    (This has been discussed a number of times on the forums, but with no official option for it, I created a Word macro that works similarly, although you'd have to adapt it for the citation style you're using: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/73159/announcing-zoterzero-for-author-only-cites -- the simplest option is to just do without -- write the name manually -- but if you want to go through the extra effort of setting this up as a macro, I personally use it and find it helpful.)
