HOW TO CREATE FOOTNOTES OR ENDNOTES IN MSWord

1. GO TO THE PULL DOWN MENU “INSERT”

2. EXPAND IF NECESSARY

3. SELECT “RERERENCE”

4. FROM SIDE MENU, SELECT FOOTNOTE, THEN THE LOCATION IN YOUR DOCUMENT WHERE YOU WANT TO PLACE THE NOTE

5.  THE CURSOR WILL JUMP TO THE NOTE LOCATION, WHERE YOU WILL TYPE THE REFERENCE INFORMATION, PER CHICAGO OR MLA RULES

6. WHEN YOU HAVE COMPLETED TYPING IN THE REFERENCE INFORMATION, YOU SHOULD RETURN TO THE POINT IN THE TEXT OF YOUR DOCUMENT WHERE YOU LEFT OFF AND PROCEED UNTIL YOU WANT TO INSERT ANOTHER CITATION, THEN REPEAT THE PROCEDURE.

7.  THE NUMBERING WILL BE HANDLED AUTOMATICALLY.  IF YOU LATER INSERT AN ADDITIONAL FOOTNOTE ANYWHERE IN THE DOCUMENT, THE SYSTEM WILL AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST THE NUMBERING.
