How to insert footnotes in Word

If the document has the text that needs additional explanation, it is celebrated on a numbered link that at the bottom of the page, you can find an explanation. Such explanations are commonly called "simple note", unlike "end of footnote", which is placed not on the current page, and at the end of the document. Word processor Microsoft Word has built-in tools that simplify the creation of footnotes both.

Instruction

Word will place a numbered reference at the specified place, will create the bottom of the page footer, put the same number will move the input cursor. You will need to type the text explanations, and then return back to the text to continue to set or specify the following footnote. Instead of buttons you can use the shortcut key combination ALT + CTRL + F for a footnote.

If you want to insert an endnote, you should act almost the same - put the cursor at the end of the piece of text that needs to be explained, and go to the tab "Footnotes" in the menu. The only difference is the button you need to click the command "Insert footnote" - in this case, it should be a button that says "Insert endnote directly".

This opens an additional window containing the preset limit, and for footnotes. After making the necessary changes, remember to click "apply" to Word prenumerata existing links to reflect you changes.
