If you go to the 'Insert' menu at the top of the page (when your cursor is at the end of the word you want the footnote to go after) and select 'Insert Note' it will ask you if you want it to be a footnote, endnote, whatever. It should also put the little number in for you - it will give you options for what format you want the number to be in, too.How do you get the higher numbers at the end of a sentence for a footnote in a paper?
