Choose Insert %26gt; Footnote.








Choose either Footnote or Endnote.








Choose either AutoNumber (to number footnotes consecutively) or Custom Mark (click Symbol to choose a symbol).








Choose Options to format the footnotes or endnotes. For example, endnotes are numbered i, ii, iii, by default and you may want them number 1, 2, 3. Click OK to close the Note Options dialog box.
