—

by

in

Footnotes and endnotes are used in printed documents to explain, comment on, or provide references for text in a document. You might use footnotes for detailed comments and endnotes for citation of sources.A footnote or an endnote consists of two linked parts-the note reference mark and the corresponding note text.

  1. Footnote and endnote reference marks
  2. Separator line
  3. Footnote text
  4. Endnote text

Insert a footnote or an endnote

Microsoft Word automatically numbers footnotes and endnotes for you. You can use a single numbering scheme throughout a document, or you can use different numbering schemes within each section in a document.Commands for inserting and editing footnotes and endnotes can be found on the References tab in the Footnotes group.

  1. Insert Footnote
  2. Insert Endnote
  3. Footnote & Endnote Dialog Box Launcher

When you add, delete, or move notes that are automatically numbered, Word renumbers the footnote and endnote reference marks.NOTE:If the footnotes in your document are numbered incorrectly, your document may contain tracked changes. Accept the tracked changes so that Word will correctly number the footnotes and endnotes.

  1. In Print Layout view, click where you want to insert the note reference mark.
  2. On the References tab, in the Footnotes group, click Insert Footnote or Insert Endnote. Word inserts the note reference mark and places the insertion point in the text area of the new footnote or endnote.

By default, Word places footnotes at the end of each page and endnotes at the end of the document.

  1. Type the note text.
  2. Double-click the footnote or endnote reference mark to return to the reference mark in the document.
  3. To change the location or format of footnotes or endnotes, click the Footnote and Endnote Dialog Box Launcher, and do one of the following:
  • To convert footnotes to endnotes or endnotes to footnotes, under Location choose either Footnotes or Endnotes and then click Convert. In the Convert Notes dialog box, click OK.
  • To change the numbering format, click the desired formatting in the Number format box and click Apply.
  • To use a custom mark instead of a traditional number format, click Symbol next to Custom mark, and then choose a mark from the available symbols. This will not change the existing note reference marks. It will only add new ones.

Change the number format of footnotes or endnotes

  1. Place the insertion point in the section in which you want to change the footnote or endnote format. If the document is not divided into sections, place the insertion point anywhere in the document.
  2. On the References tab, click the Footnote and Endnote Dialog Box Launcher.
  3. Click Footnotes or Endnotes
  4. In the Number format box, click the option that you want.
  5. Click Apply.

Change the starting value for footnotes or endnotes

Word will automatically number footnotes beginning with "1" and endnotes beginning with "i", or you can choose a different starting value.NOTE If the footnotes in your document are numbered incorrectly, your document may contain tracked changes. Accept the tracked changes so that Word will correctly number the footnotes and endnotes.

  1. On the References tab, in the Footnotes group, click the Footnote & Endnote Dialog Box Launcher.
  1. In the Start at box, choose the desired starting value.
  2. Click Apply.

Create a footnote or endnote continuation notice

If a footnote or endnote is too long to fit on a page, you can create a continuation notice to let readers know that a footnote or endnote is continued on the next page.

  1. Make sure that you are in Draft view by going to the View tab and clicking Draft.
  1. On the References tab, in the Footnotes group, click Show Notes.
  1. If your document contains both footnotes and endnotes, a message appears. Click View footnote area or View endnote area, and then click OK.
  2. In the note pane list, click Footnote Continuation Notice or Endnote Continuation Notice.
  3. In the note pane, type the text that you want to use for the continuation notice.

Change or remove a footnote or endnote separator

Word separates document text from footnotes and endnotes with a short horizontal line called a note separator. If a note overflows onto the next page, Word prints a longer line called a note continuation separator. You can customize separators by adding text or graphics.

  1. Make sure that you are in Draft view by going to the View tab and clicking Draft.
  1. On the References tab, in the Footnotes group, click Show Notes.
  1. In the note pane list, click and choose the type of separator you want to change or remove.

    2. To change the separator for notes that continue from the previous page, click Footnote Continuation Separator or Endnote Continuation Separator.
  2. Select the separator and make changes:
  • To remove the separator, press DELETE.
  • To edit the separator, insert a Clip Art divider line or type text.
  • To restore the default separator, click Reset.

Delete a footnote or an endnote

When you want to delete a note, you work with the note reference mark in the document window, not the text in the note.
