Footnotes and endnotes are used to provide explanations, comments, and related references for text in a document in a printed document. Footnotes can be used to annotate the contents of the document, and endnotes to describe the referenced literature. A footnote or endnote typically consists of two linked parts, the annotation reference mark and the corresponding comment text. When you specify a numbering scheme, Microsoft Office Word automatically numbers the footnotes and endnotes. You can use a numbering scheme throughout your document, or you can use a different numbering scheme in each section of your document. When you add, delete, or move an AutoNumber annotation, Word renumber the footnote and endnote reference marks.

1. Format the footnote or endnote. Click "Insert" in the Ribbon, find the footnote group, click the Footnote dialog Box Launcher in the lower right corner of the footnote group, and the Footnote and endnote window will pop up, as shown in the figure. In the footnotes and Endnotes window, you can set the position of a footnote or endnote, and you can set the number format for footnotes or endnotes.
2. In print layout view, place the cursor in the position of the note reference mark. Tap the References tab on the Ribbon, find the footnote group, and click Insert footnote or insert endnote to insert a footnote or endnote in the document where the cursor is located.
3. After inserting a footnote or endnote, the cursor is automatically positioned in the text annotation area of the footnote or endnote, and the user can enter the note text for the footnote or endnote himself.
4. Double-click the footnote or endnote number to return to the reference mark in the document. Similarly, double-click the reference mark in the footnote or endnote in the document to return to the text annotation area.
