Keyboard shortcuts for EndNote’s Cite While You Write commands are available in Word.
To add or change a keyboard shortcut:
From Word’s Tools > EndNote submenu, select Cite While You Write Preferences. From the EndNote tab in Word, select Preferences .
Click the Keyboard tab.
From the list of commands, select the command for which you would like to add (or change) a shortcut.
Under "Press new shortcut key," enter the new shortcut key combination on the keyboard.
Keyboard shortcuts work in both EndNote and Microsoft Word.
We suggest using a key combination that includes the Command and Control keys because they are not normally used together for Word commands.
If you enter a key command that is already assigned to a Cite While You Write command, EndNote will note which command it is currently assigned to. EndNote does not alert you if you assign a keyboard shortcut that was previously used by another Microsoft Word command.
Click Assign to assign the new shortcut.
Follow the same steps to remove an assigned shortcut key, except click Remove instead of Assign.
Click Reset All to remove custom key assignments.
