Word 2007 citation problem

[ZeeG]

Sometimes when I insert a citation, word also put a title of a paper in the body.
For example, a citation in the text body should be like this:
(Gates & Jobs, 2007)
But, sometimes I see as follows:
(Gages & Jobs, Paper's title, 2007)

Could you please tell me what's the problem and how can I fix this issue?

Is it doing this randomly or is there a certain pattern to the citations/documents you are using? Have you checked that the style you're using is not inserting it? Here's a microsoft article that may help also.

It does not happen randomly. However, I think I found a problem - still don't know how to solve this:

If you have multiple entry with same authors, then title is also displayed in the text.
For example, add following two entries in you DB.

Article 1:
Author: Doe, John
Title: Random Title1
Year: 2000

Article 2:
Author: Doe, John
Title: Random Title 2
Year: 2001

Then, the citation result will look like (Doe, Random Title1, 2000) , not (Doe, 2000).

Word does this by default so the citations are not confused. To force a certain format look at creating your own XSL template. Here's an article from the MS Office Blogs that will give you detail on setting up a template. Hope this helps.

jhaith,
Thanks for your help.
I commented out following line in the every style (XSL) and now it works as I expected.

<xsl:value-of select="msxsl:node-set($ListPopulatedWithMain)/b:Citation/b:Source/b:Title" />
