Add footnotes or endnotes in MSWord

Add footnotes and endnotes in MS Word 2013 (other versions work similarly, but the insert Footnote or Endnote function may be in a different menu).

Writers use footnotes and endnotes in documents to explain, comment on, or provide references to something they’ve mentioned in a document. Usually, footnotes appear at the bottom of the page and endnotes come at the end of the document or section.

Add a footnote

  1. Click where you want to add the footnote.
  2. Click References > Insert Footnote.

Word inserts a reference mark in the text and adds the footnote mark at the bottom of the page.

  1. Type the footnote text.

 TIP    To return to your place in your document, double-click the footnote mark.

Add an endnote

  1. Click where you want to add the endnote.
  2. Click References > Insert Endnote.

Word inserts a reference mark in the text and adds the endnote mark at the end of the document.

  1. Type the endnote text.

 TIP    To return to your place in your document, double-click the endnote mark.
