[Tex/LaTex] Using “and” instead of ampersand in natbib in-text citations (“\citet”)

ampersandnatbib

My bibliography compiles well, excerpt that for multiple authors with in text citations, an '&' is displayed, instead of a required 'and'. All solutions on this site I've found so far have failed. I prefer to maintain present packages; e.g. not Biblatex.

My university follows APA-style requirements. Multiple authors citations should thus display '&' only in the bibliography and in parenthetical citations; in text citations use 'and'.

For my thesis-document I use the 'Dissertate' class template as found on Github https://github.com/suchow/Dissertate.

My bibliography-style is defined as apalike2, with package natbib. NB I Use the latest version (1.6.12) of Texpad as a typesetter.

I'm rather novice to TeX but here I try to give a MWE:

\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\ProvidesClass{Dissertate}[2014/01/24 v1.0 Dissertate Class]
\LoadClass[12pt, oneside, letterpaper]{book}
\RequirePackage{hyperref}

\RequirePackage{Harvard}
\renewcommand{\bibnumfmt}[1]{[#1]}
\renewcommand\bibname{References}

%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode

\documentclass[School=Harvard]{Dissertate}

@article{YeoM2012,
title={Complex problem solving through Action Learning: Implications for HR development},    
journal={International Journal of Human Resources Development and Management},
volume={12},
number={4},
pages={258-273},
author={Marquardt, Michael and Yeo, Roland},
year={2012},
}
\begin{document}

\citet{YeoM2012}

\end{document}

I'm not sure why you think apacite doesn't handle the &/and switching correctly (referring to your comment).

Here is a basic example with apacite, showing the differences between in-text citations, parenthetical citations, and the reference list itself:

Code

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{apacite}
\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{refs.bib}
@BOOK{SmJo03,
  AUTHOR         = {A. Smith and B. Jones},
  TITLE          = {Title},
  YEAR           = {2003},
}
\end{filecontents}

\begin{document}
\citeA{SmJo03} found that in-text citations of 
their work appeared with `\&' rather than `and'.

It was also discovered that parenthetical citations are 
printed with `\&' as required by the APA \cite{SmJo03}.

\bibliographystyle{apacite}
\bibliography{refs}
\end{document}

If this doesn't work properly for you, there must be some interaction with something else on your system. The community would need a proper minimal working example (MWE) to diagnose.
