How do you footnote a paragraph..???

can any one tell me how to footnote a paragraph...pleaseeeHow do you footnote a paragraph..???
Keeping the start of a footnote on the same page as its reference


If you've ever tried to type (on a typewriter!) a page with footnotes, you know how hard it is to figure out how much space to leave for them. If you have a footnote reference in the very last line of a page, there will not be room for an extra footnote, and both reference and note will have to be carried to the next page. Or there may be room for the text reference and part of the note, but the remainder of the note will have to be continued on the next page. Sometimes it's hard to estimate how long the note will be, too. Word has to make all these same calculations. Admittedly it makes them a lot faster, but it's still a complex operation, and it's not surprising that sometimes it doesn't turn out quite right.





Some users have reported footnotes wandering uncontrollably. This was an admitted bug in Word 97 and below (and is most likely to be evident if you have “Keep lines together” switched on for your Footnote Text style, or if you have no Space Before or After in your Footnote Text style); and it results from the difficulty of calculating where page breaks will fall, especially in a document with complex formatting.How do you footnote a paragraph..???
1. Switch to normal view (normal view: A view that shows text formatting and a simplified page layout. Normal view is convenient for most editing and formatting tasks.).





2. On the View menu, click Footnotes.


If your document contains both footnotes and endnotes, a message appears. Click View footnote area or View endnote area, and then click OK.





3. In the note pane (pane: A portion of the document window bounded by and separated from other portions by vertical or horizontal bars.), click Footnote Continuation Notice or Endnote Continuation Notice.





4. In the note pane, type the text you want to use for the continuation notice — for example, type Endnotes continued on the next page.








Note To view the continuation notice as it appears in the printed document, click Print Layout View on the horizontal scroll bar.
