APA 7th edition format wrong
For some reason, despite that my Word is set at APA 7th edition in the zotero setting of Word, I'm getting something different than actual APA style. It's now including the first names of authors and the year at the end of the citation, rather than near the beginning. Do you know of anyone in the library who can resolve this mystery?
Initially, it worked fine with an older file from 2019. But since 2023, I'm getting this:
Buehner, Marc J., and Gruffydd R. Humphreys. “Causal Contraction: Spatial Binding in the Perception of Collision Events.” Psychological Science 21, no. 1 (2010): 44–48. https://doi.org/10.1177/0956797609354735.
Rather than this (from my older file).This is the correct APA 7th edition style.

Thanks! Much appreciated.

Might be a bug that somehow selects a different style, but much more likely you either have a different style selected or have selected it in the wrong place.
I tried taking a screenshot of my Word with the APA 7th selection on, but it wouldn't work in taking a screenshot.
My zotero function in Word has 7th apa selected. That's all the information there is. Any ideas?

That's the only information I got from my screenshot. I'm not sure this helps. thanks again.
Are you saying I should go to export under 'file' and do something? I'm not very adept at using zotero, so would you please be very specific? I appreciate your advice. Thank you!
So, it won't let me drop and drag with APA 7.0 but it will with APA 7.0 with numeric and date. Should I just quite while I'm ahead? thanks again. :)
(Also note that, while this should obviously work, this isn’t how Zotero is generally meant to be used in Word and has nothing to do with the Document Preferences window you showed earlier. That’s why people were confused here.)
