Hello,

have you tried adjusting the OO style file?  
In the help is described, how the style is setup and what the fields mean. There is one boolean option to switch between author/year style and numeric style, it is listed under properties. This should work, when I understand you correct

IsNumberEntries

Hi

I’m sorry if I didn’t explain myself well enough. What I want is to have the option to remove the author name in citations with (Name Year) format. I’ll like the option to make the following citations types:

- bla bla bla (Siedlerchr 2016)
- Siedlerchr (2016) studied bla bla bla
- Siedlerchr’s (2016) work bla bla bla.  
Note that the last citation cannot be done with the OO plugin.
