How do you make a footnote in a paper?

In print layout view, click where you want to insert the note reference mark.


On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and then click Footnote.


Click Footnotes or Endnotes.


By default, Word places footnotes at the end of each page and endnotes at the end of the document. You can change the placement of footnotes and endnotes by making a selection in the Footnotes or Endnotes box.





In the Number format box, click the format you want.


For Help on an option, click the question mark , and then click the option.





Click Insert.


Word inserts the note number and places the insertion point next to the note number.





Type the note text.


Scroll to your place in the document and continue typing.


As you insert additional footnotes or endnotes in the document, Word automatically applies the correct number format.





This applies if yo're using Microsoft Word. I just went to the ';show assistant'; link.





Hope this helps!
