Keyboard Preferences in Microsoft Word
Keyboard shortcuts for EndNote’s Cite While You Write commands are available in Word.
To add or change a keyboard shortcut:
- In Word, select Preferences on the EndNote 2025 tab.
- 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.
- If you enter a key command that is already assigned to another Word or Cite While You Write command, EndNote will note which command it is currently assigned to.
- 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.
See CWYW Keyboard Commands for Word for a list of the default keyboard shortcuts.
