Multiple easy-to-follow ways to add footnotes in Word

Footnotes allow you to cite sources or explain a concept in detail without sidetracking the main text. Word makes managing footnotes easy, as new footnotes are numbered automatically, and the footnotes area expands and shrinks dynamically based on the amount of text. Give your document a professional feel by strategically using footnotes to clarify information and credit your sources.

1

Click the «References» tab. This is located at the top of the window, typically between «Page Layout» and «Mailings». This tab lets you insert various reference tools, such as a table of contents, footnotes and endnotes, citations, captions and more.
2

Place your cursor where you want the footnote to appear. By default, footnotes will be designated by increasing superscript numbers. Place the cursor where you want the number to appear.

Click the «Insert Footnote» button. This is located in the «Footnotes» section of the «References» tab. The footnote number will be inserted, and a separator bar will be added to the bottom of the page. Your cursor will automatically be taken to the footnote at the bottom of the page so that you can fill it out.
- An endnote is like a footnote except the reference occurs at the end of the document. By default, endnotes are numbered with Roman numerals (i, ii, iii, etc.).
- Alternatively, you can press Ctrl + Alt + F to create a footnote, or Ctrl + Alt + D to create an endnote.
4
Change when your footnotes numbering resets. By default, your footnotes will increase in number throughout your whole document. You can change this so that the numbers restart every page or at section breaks in the document.^[1]
- Click the Menu button in the bottom-right corner of the «Footnotes» section. This will open the «Footnote and Endnote» window. In the «Format» section, use the «Numbering» drop-down menu to select when you want the footnote numbers to restart.
- You can insert section breaks into your document by clicking the «Page Layout» tab, clicking the «Breaks» button in the «Page Setup» section, and then selecting the type of break you’d like to insert. Besides changing the way footnotes are numbered, section breaks are great for making layout changing to specific portions of a document.
5
Change your footnote formatting. If you’d rather have symbols instead of numbers, want the footnotes to appear below the text instead of at the bottom of the page, or want the numbering to start at a different number, you can change this from the «Footnote and Endnote» window. Click the Menu button in the bottom right-corner of the «Footnotes» section to open it.
- Click Symbol… to choose a symbol from the Symbol menu. You can choose any character from any font, though the «Symbols» font will open by default.

A footnote will be inserted at your cursor and you will be taken to the footnote text section to enter the contents of the footnote. The footnote text will be at the bottom of the same page as the footnote, separated by a line.

Add New Question

Question

Why is my first footnote printing on the next page?

A header or footnote is applied to all pages when put in a document. Unless it is a page number generated by the document (which you select). Otherwise, the header and footnote follows you through all of your pages.
Question

How do I insert more information into a footnote that already exists?

You can double click on an existing footnote to edit it.
Question

When I create a footnote for a word, does it appear each time I use the word?

No, it doesn’t. Footnotes are bound to locations in the document, not to words. This means that, even if you change the word or the text around the footnote, the footnote remains where it is.

This tutorial shows how to insert footnotes and endnotes in Microsoft Word using the tools in the ribbon.

Manually inserting individual footnotes and endnotes in Word is relatively straightforward: type a superscript number in the main text and then scroll to the bottom of the page, section, or document to type your note.

But manually inserting notes can get tricky if your document is more than a couple of pages long or has a lot of notes because you also have to manually update number sequencing and text placement as notes are added or deleted.

That’s when Word’s footnote and endnote tools really come in handy. These tools automatically maintain sequential note numbers, create space for endnotes at the end of the document or section, and make sure that your footnotes stay with their associated text—even if that text moves to a different page. Best of all, the tools are easy to use.

The images below are from Word for Microsoft 365. The steps also apply to Word 2021, Word 2019, Word 2016, Word 2013, and Word 2010. However, your interface may look slightly different in those older versions.

This tutorial is available as a YouTube video showing all the steps in real time.

Don’t miss the three benefits of using Word’s footnote and endnote tools explained at the end of this tutorial.

1. Place your cursor where the superscript number for the first note should appear.

2. Select the References tab in the ribbon.

3. Select the dialog box launcher in the Footnotes group.

You can also choose additional options in the Footnote and Endnote dialog box such as number formatting and whether the numbering applies to the whole document or to a specific section.

6. Select the Insert button to create the first note.

After Word creates the superscript number, your cursor will automatically move to the note location selected in the Footnote and Endnote dialog box.

7. Write your note.

8. Double-click on the number before the note to return to the location of the corresponding superscript number in the main text.

9. Place your cursor where the superscript number for the next note should appear in the text and then select Insert Footnote or Insert Endnote in the Footnotes group in the ribbon to insert the next note.

The options you selected in the Footnote and Endnote dialog box during step 5 will be maintained.

10. Save your document to save your new footnotes or endnotes.

Here are three benefits to keep in mind when working with footnotes and endnotes in Word:

1. You can use footnotes and endnotes in the same document. If you choose to use both, the first type inserted will be assigned superscript numbers and the second type inserted will be assigned superscript letters. However, these options can be changed in the Footnote and Endnote dialog box (see figures 4 and 5).

2. If you move the text connected to footnotes or endnotes, the sequencing of the superscript numbers (or letters) and the notes themselves will be automatically updated. Additionally, if you add or delete footnotes or endnotes between existing notes, the sequencing of the superscript numbers (or letters) and the notes themselves will be automatically updated.

3. You can modify the style of all the footnotes or all the endnotes, plus the reference numbers and the separator lines that appear above the notes.

You can insert a footnote or endnote in Word from the References tab of the ribbon.
Footnotes and endnotes are supplemental information you can add to a document and reference using superscripts in the main text.
You can add multiple references to the same footnote using the cross-reference tool in the References tab of the ribbon.

While footnotes aren’t necessarily a commonly used formatting feature in Microsoft Word, you’ll appreciate having access to this ability if you need to create an academic or professional document that requires them.

Footnotes allow you to place supplemental information at the bottom of the page — in other words, the footer — which you reference with a superscript number or symbol in the main body.

Footnotes are different from endnotes; footnotes appear on the page they’re referenced, while endnotes appear at the end of the document. Which one should you use? Whichever you prefer — or more likely, whichever one is called for in the writing or publication standards you’re using.

How to customize a footnote or endnote in Word

Those simple steps should be all you need to create footnotes and endnotes for documents, most of the time. You can customize them, though, if you need them to look or work differently.

To get to the options for footnotes and endnotes, click the «References» tab in the ribbon and click the small arrow in the bottom-right corner of the Footnotes section. The Footnote and Endnote dialog box should appear.

The Footnote and Endnote options dialog box.

Dave Johnson/Insider

There are several options on this small dialog box. Here’s what you can do:

Control where the notes appear. In the Location section, you can choose «Bottom of page» or «Below text» to set where footnotes appear. If you choose «Below text,» the notes appear immediately under the last text on the page rather than all the way at the bottom.
Change the footnote or endnote layout. Click the dropdown menu next to «Columns» to arrange footnotes into columns instead of following the format of the main text.
Change the formatting of the footnotes and endnotes. You can specify the kind of numbering, lettering or other symbols that get used when you add footnotes. This is more than just an aesthetic choice; if you have both footnotes and endnotes in the same document, you’ll want to make sure they’re different to eliminate confusion. In addition, your writing or publishing guidelines might specify what numbering system to use for footnotes.
