When you’re working on an academic paper, it’s important to cite your references, provide explanations, and make comments. It’s easy to add footnotes in Microsoft Word for Windows and also in Microsoft Word for Mac. Word automates the process so that the numbering is always correct. And if you make changes to the document, Word automatically moves the footnotes to the correct pages.
How to Insert a Footnote in Word
Inserting Footnotes in Microsoft Word:
Place the cursor in the text where you want to place the footnote. You don't have to type the number. That happens automatically.
Select the References tab.
