Default Remove title from APA citation repeated first author

In Word 2007 I'm working with APA 6th style, when I create two references with the same first author and insert the second reference in the text, it also includes the title of the paper in the citation, how could fix this? I need only authors and year, not the title, to appear in the text when I insert the citation.

Word's referencing tools will only do that if you have added references for two or more works by the same author to the document. That's what the APA referencing standard requires.

Yes, that's what I did, two different works of the same author, I need the second cite to appear as usual: only authors and year

You can suppress the display of the author, year and/or title by checking the appropriate options in the Edit Citation pop-up.

Thanks so much! I didn't notice I could do that by right-clicking the citation, sorry for the naive question
