Keenious in a Word software

Keenious is centrally installed in the Word software of HY's Office365 installation. It therefore works both in the electronic version and in the desktop version on the HY network. You can find it on the right-hand side of the toolbar (see image above). Using Keenious with Word gives more benefits, as you can use your own text as a basis for analysis. 

The basic principle is that when you open a document/type a text, Keenious analyses it and suggests relevant material in the same way as in the browser version. Advanced search, such as filtering and subject search work in the same way in Word as in the browser version.

The advantage of Keenious Word is that the author can search for related material at different stages of the article writing process. They can also select a specific text passage and search for related material.

Open the document/write text, click on the Keenious button, click on "Explore using text". If you have opened a pdf in Word, click on "Explore using pdf". You can then continue in the same way as in the browser version.

Doesn't the Keenious button appear in Word?

The Keenious button should appear on the right-hand side of the Word Start toolbar (the program is centrally installed in the University Office installations). However, in some cases the installation has failed. In that case, you can get the button to appear as follows:

Click on "file" and select "settings" from the bottom left. Select "Customize the selection bar" and tick "Development Tools". Press ok.

You will then see the Developer Tools menu in the top bar of Word, and the Keenious button can be added to the toolbar from there under Utilities > Administrator Managed. Select Keenious and click more. Then the button should appear in the top bar as long as you first press the Update button in Word.
