Hi guys.

Is there a way that I can make a shortcut for inserting footnotes?

Currently, I have to go: insert> footnote> OK - and then double click on a citation (that I have already inputted in 'citations' within toolbox'.

Thanks.
Norm.

It sounds like you're trying to insert a citation within your body text to reference a footnote, is that right?yea, right.

The keyboard shortcut for adding a footnote reference is Command-Option-F; but if you want the citation brackets around the name of the citation within your body text, it looks like you'll need to double-click on the entry in the citations list at any rate.

But what buttons are 'command and option'

thanks jeff

They're not *buttons*, they're keys on the keyboard. How they're marked
depends on what keyboard you have, but they're in the bottom row adjacent to
the spacebar.

You are on the Mac version, aren't you?

The Command key is the one with the Apple symbol on it.

If you still have a question have a look here>>> the Command keys are
immediately adjacent to the spacebar but yours may or may not have the Apple
logo on them. The Option keys are clearly labeled.

I'm not sure why it appears broken in the quoted message but it works fine
in the original. At any rate, try this instead:
