It is really easy, Word will even take care of the numbering for you. Learn how on this useful 5-minute tip. Make more professional looking documents with this trick.

Footnotes are numbered references that appear on the main text indexing small text notes on the bottom of each page. Endnotes, similar to them, will appear on the end of the document instead of each page footer. They are very easy to insert and Word will take care of most of the work for you.

How it Works

It is really simple. Just follow these steps:

1) While inserting a block of text, place the typing cursor just after the word you want to have the numbered footnote::
