CWYW Keyboard Commands for Word

These keyboard commands are available when you use Cite While You Write with Microsoft Word. The table below shows the initial settings, but you can change the key command assignments. See Keyboard Preferences in Microsoft Word.

Note that:

  • Alt+1 is used for both Return to Word and Go to EndNote. The program determines which application is currently active and switches to the other application.
  • Some of these commands are available from Word and from EndNote.
  • While you can change key assignments, keep in mind that most other key combinations are currently already in use in both EndNote and Word.
