Citation inconsistenty with author initials

[francb]

Using Word 2007 on a PC with Vista: Using the exact same settings to add a
new source in Citations and Bibliography's ADD A NEW SOURCE.... CREATE SOURCE
using the APA style...
I enter many sources and the in-text citation appears correctly:
Surname, A.A. - the in-text citation reads correctly (Surname, DATE)

I enter a source and use exactly the same format as the others, but
inconsistently, the in-text citation appears with the title (simple to
correct by EDIT CITATION and suppress the title), but if ONE of the author's
initials appear I cannot correct it:
I enter:
Another, A.A. - the in-text citations reads incorrect (Another A., DATE)

I deleted the entry and tried again, I added more spaces, less spaces, with
and without fullstops. It seems we have an inconsistency here.

Hello,

Could you be more precise on how to reproduce the problem with only 2
or 3 sources? For example:

Add the following sources:

Citation 1:
Type of Source: Journal Article
Author: some names here
Title: some title here
Year: 1978
City: Boston

Citation 2
Type of Source: Book
Author: some more names here
Title: some other title here
Year: 2008
City: Cape Town

I'm asking because I can't reproduce your problem at the moment. I'm
not fully skilled in the use of APA, but it seems strange that APA
would display the title by default. If I'm not mistaken (and I very
well could be), the title is only displayed if the authors of the
different works are equal or something. So suppressing the title in
that case might influence the formatting somehow.
