Multiple easy-to-follow ways to add footnotes in Word
Download Article
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.

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.

Footnotes are short notes at the bottom of the page that provide explanations, additional comments, or an understanding of a particular word or phrase in the document content. Endnotes are the same as footnotes but appear at the end of an entire section or document.
Footnotes or endnotes in the document must be formatted according to the requirements accepted by your college, university, company, established on the project, etc.
The number or symbol inserted in the document content to refer to a footnote or endnote is called a reference mark. Footnotes appear on the same page as their reference marks, and endnotes appear at the end of the document or section (see more about their customization below). In most views, footnotes or endnotes are separated from the body text by a note separator line (see how to change a note separator line).
The numbering is always correct if you insert footnotes or endnotes using the Word’s Footnote and Endnote functionality. Even after changes are made to the document, Word automatically moves the footnotes to the correct page and renumbers them accordingly.
Note: You can use footnotes and endnotes in the same document.
Insert a Footnote or Endnote
Word offers several useful features to insert footnotes and endnotes. You can:
- Insert the Footnote with the default format using the Insert Footnote button
- Insert the Endnote with the default format using the Insert Endnote button
- Insert the Footnote and Endnote using shortcut keys
- Insert the Footnote and Endnote using the custom format
Note: To reference a single footnote or endnote multiple times in the document text with the automatic numbering, you can use cross-references.
Insert the Footnote using the Insert Footnote button
To insert the Footnote with the format used by default (Word’s default format or last saved format for the footnotes in the document), do the following:
1. Place the cursor where you want to insert the reference to the footnote.
2. On the References tab, in the Footnotes group, click the Insert Footnote button:
Word inserts the footnote at the bottom of the current page with the format used by default (superscript number of the 1, 2, 3, … numbered list). The cursor is positioned next to the inserted footnote. E.g.:
3. Enter what you need in the footnote. You can modify text style, size, color as you want using the same features as for the regular text:

Select the symbol you need in the Symbol dialog box and click the OK button.
In English, a footnote or endnote is usually indicated by a superscript number immediately following the text or phrase to which the note refers. For some requirements, a superscript number should be placed between parentheses, for example: [1].
Note: We strongly recommend checking the requirements you need to follow. For example:
- The Chicago style allows using symbols, such as the asterisk (*) or the dagger (†), instead of numbers if there are a few footnotes in the document (see how to add different reference marks for more details).
- The American Psychological Association (APA) style and Modern Language Association (MLA) style don’t recommend using symbols as footnote identifiers.
- Optionally, select the number you need to start numbering in the Start at field.
For example, if you have several documents containing different chapters or parts of the voluminous project, you can start footnotes from a specific number in the current document.
- From the Numbering dropdown list, select one of the options:
- Continuous (used by default)
- Restart each section
- Restart each page
- Choose the format you need from the Number format dropdown list:
- In the Apply changes section, from the Apply changes to dropdown list, select one of the options:
- This section
- Whole document
4. Enter the text you need in the footnote or endnote:
5. Double-click the number or symbol at the beginning of the note to return to the document content.

Сноски в Майкросотф Ворд — это что-то вроде комментариев или примечаний, которые можно размещать в текстовом документе, как на любых его страницах (обычные сноски), так и в самом конце (концевые сноски). Зачем это нужно? В первую очередь, для совместной работы и/или проверки заданий либо же при написании книги, когда автору или редактору нужно внести пояснение того или иного слова, термина, фразы.
Представьте, кто-то вам сбросил текстовый документ MS Word, который вы должны просмотреть, проверить и, при необходимости что-то изменить. Но как быть, если вы хотите, чтобы это «что-то» изменил автор документа или какой-нибудь другой человек? Как быть в случаях, когда нужно просто оставить какое-то примечание или пояснение, к примеру, в научной работе или книге, не захламляя при этом содержимое всего документа? Именно для этого и нужны сноски, и в этой статье мы расскажем о том, как вставлять сноски в Ворде 2010 — 2016, а также в более ранних версиях продукта.
Примечание: Инструкция в данной статье будет показана на примере Microsoft Word 2016, но она применима и к предыдущим версиям программы. Некоторые пункты могут отличаться визуально, у них может быть немного другое название, но смысл и содержание каждого шага практически идентичны.
Добавление обычных и концевых сносок
Используя сноски в Ворде, можно не только предоставлять разъяснения и оставлять комментарии, но и добавлять ссылки для текста в печатном документе (зачастую, для ссылок используются концевые сноски).
Примечание: Желая добавить к текстовому документу список литературы, воспользуйтесь командами для создания источников и ссылок. Найти их можно во вкладке «Ссылки» на панели инструментов, группа «Ссылки и списки литературы».
Обычные и концевые сноски в MS Word нумеруются автоматически. Для всего документа можно использовать общую схему нумерации либо же можно создавать разные схемы для каждого отдельного раздела.
Команды, необходимые для добавления обычных и концевых сносок, а также для их редактирования, расположены во вкладке «Ссылки», группа «Сноски».
Примечание: Нумерация сносок в Ворде изменяется автоматически при их добавлении, удалении или перемещении. Если вы видите, что сноски в документе пронумерованы неправильно, вероятнее всего, в документе содержатся исправления. Эти исправления необходимо принять, после чего обычные и концевые сноски будут снова правильно пронумерованными.
1. Кликните левой кнопкой мышки в том месте, куда вы желаете добавить сноску.
2. Перейдите во вкладку «Ссылки», группа «Сноски» и добавьте обычную или концевую сноску, нажав на соответствующий пункт. Знак сноски будет расположен в необходимом месте. Сама же сноска будет находиться внизу страницы, если она обычная. Концевая сноска будет расположена в конце документа.
Для большего удобства используйте сочетания клавиш: «Ctrl+Alt+F» — добавление обычной сноски , «Ctrl+Alt+D» — добавление концевой.
3. Введите необходимый текст сноски.
4. Кликните дважды по значку сноски (обычной или концевой), чтобы вернуться к ее знаку в тексте.
5. Если вы хотите изменить расположение сноски или ее формат, откройте диалоговое окно «Сноски» на панели управления MS Word и выполните необходимое действие:
- Для преобразования обычных сносок в концевые, как и наоборот, в группе «Положение» выберите необходимый тип: «Сноски» или «Концевые сноски», после чего нажмите кнопку «Заменить». Нажмите «ОК» для подтверждения.
- Для изменения формата нумерации выберите необходимое форматирование: «Формат номера» — «Применить».
- Чтобы изменить стандартную нумерацию и установить вместо нее собственный знак для сноски, нажмите на «Символ», и выберите то, что вам необходимо. Существующие знаки сносок при этом останутся неизменными, а новый знак будет применяться исключительно к новым сноскам.
Как изменить начальное значение сносок?
Обычные сноски нумеруются автоматически, начиная с цифры «1», концевые — начиная с буквы «i», за которой следует «ii», затем «iii» и так далее. Кроме этого, желая сделать в Ворде сноску внизу страницы (обычную) или в конце документа (концевую), вы также можете задать и любое другое начальное значение, то есть, установить другую цифру или букву.
1. Вызовите диалоговое окно во вкладке «Ссылки», группа «Сноски».
2. Выберите необходимое начальное значение в поле «Начать с».
3. Примените изменения.
Как создать уведомление о продолжение сноски?
Иногда бывает так, что сноска не помещается на странице, в таком случае можно и нужно добавить уведомление о ее продолжение, чтобы человек, который будет читать документ, был в курсе того, что сноска не закончена.
1. Во вкладке «Вид» включите режим «Черновик».
2. Перейдите во вкладку «Ссылки» и в группе «Сноски» выберите «Показать сноски», а затем укажите тип сносок (обычные или концевые), которые вы хотите показать.
3. В появившемся списке области сносок кликните «Уведомление о продолжении сноски» («Уведомление о продолжении концевой сноски»).
4. Введите в области сносок текст, необходимый для уведомления о продолжение.
Как изменить или удалить разделитель сноски?
Текстовое содержимое документа отделяется от сносок, как обычных, так и концевых, горизонтальной линией (разделитель сносок). В случае, когда сноски переходят на другую страницу, линия становится более длинной (разделитель продолжения сноски). В Microsoft Word можно настраивать эти разделители, добавляя к ним рисунки или текст.
1. Включите режим черновика.
2. Вернитесь во вкладку «Ссылки» и нажмите «Показать сноски».
3. Выберите тип разделителя, который вы хотите изменить.
4. Выберите необходимый разделитель и внесите соответствующие изменения.
- Для удаления разделителя просто нажмите «DELETE».
- Для изменения разделителя выберите подходящую линию из коллекции картинок или просто введите желаемый текст.
- Для восстановления разделителя по умолчанию нажмите «Сброс».
Как удалить сноску?
Если сноска вам больше не нужна и вы хотите ее удалить, помните, что удалять нужно не текст сноски, а ее символ. После того, как знак сноски, а вместе с ним и сама сноска со всем содержимым будут удалены, автоматическая нумерация измениться, сместившись на отсутствующий пункт, то есть, станет корректной.
На этом все, теперь вы знаете, как вставить сноску в Ворде 2003, 2007, 2012 или 2016, а также в любой другой версии. Надеемся, эта статья для вас была полезной и поможет заметно упростить взаимодействие с документами в продукте от Microsoft, будь то работа, учеба или творчество.
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.
Watch more than 150 other writing-related software tutorials on my YouTube channel.
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.
4. Select Footnotes or Endnotes in the Footnote and Endnote dialog box.
5. Select the note’s location from the drop-down menu.
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.
