Mention of Title also in In-text citation in APA style

[WordCount]

Hi,
I'm unable to figure out why there appears title of the article also i
in-text citation when I am using APA style in Word 2007.
Please help. I need an answer urgently.
Thanks,
Rashi

Because whoever devised Word's Bibliography Tool knew absolutely
nothing about how bibliographies and citations actually work.

In order to remove the title from a citation, right-click on the
citation, choose Edit Citation, and check the box for "suppressing"
the Title.

Since Word does not assign a, b, etc. to successive works published by
an author in the same year, you should Edit the Source for each of the
affected items to add a, b, etc. at the end of the date in the date
field. But (if you have a single master list of references that you'll
be using for other documents that might have a different assortment of
a's and b's) in this case do NOT automatically answer "Yes" when it
asks you whether to make the same change in the master list.

Thank you so much for helping me with removing the title in in-tex
citation! I had chosen the method of converting citation to static text
Your explanation regarding a, b, c, etc. in bibliographic citation wil
depend on showing work by the same author only, perhaps. But I see tha
the in-text citation included title even when the same author share
work with others. But thank you very much solving this problem, sir. An
I'll keep in mind when I don't find distinguishing a, b, c, etc. i
References

You'll never find a, b, c in the References if you don't do it
manually -- Word's solution was to add the title instead of to add
letters, even though no author-date system does it that way.

Note that the Book and other categories include a slot for "Short
Title" -- if you've entered something there, theb Word will use it
rather than the full item title, and in the case of a book with no
author, editor, or translator [it does happen], Word will use it for
the start of the bibliograpy entry. (In that case, if you _don't_ put
something in the "Short Title" box, it does something rather odd, but
it only happened to me once and I don't remember what it was.)

Note also that Word fails to insert "eds." after more-than-one editor
of a book when they appear in the Author position in a bibliography--
you get a blank between a comma and a period..
