326 In Word, how do I change where footnotes appear? From the References tab, Footnotes group, click on the dialog box launcher button. The footnote and Endnote dialog box will be displayey. Change the Footnotes settings under Location. Click on Apply.

This happens when the final line on a page contains a footnote reference, and the paragraph has the “Widow/Orphan control” setting switched on, and where having the footnote on the same page as its reference would force that line onto the next page, breaking the “Widow/Orphan control” rule.

In the Insert> Footnote dialog be sure the Location option is selected for Bottom of Page rather than Below Text. When that option is selected footnotes remain at the bottom of the page regardless of which Vertical Alignment is used. It's only when Below Text is selected that the footnote location adjusts ingly.

The footnote contains the number of the citation followed by a period and then the citation itself. The citation always includes the author's name and the title of the text, and it always ends with a period. Full notes also include all the relevant publication information in parentheses (which varies by source type).

Footnotes (sometimes just called 'notes') are what they sound like—a note (or a reference to a source of information) which appears at the foot (bottom) of a page. In a footnote referencing system, you indicate a reference by: Putting a small number above the line of type directly following the source material.

Footnote or endnote numbers in the text should follow punctuation, and preferably be placed at the end of a sentence. When citing the source for a quotation, the number should be placed at the end of the quotation and not after the author's name if that appears first in the text.

Guidelines to help you avoid mistakes with footnotes include: always include a full citation the first time you reference a source; cite author's names as they appear with texts; don't replace names with initials; and if no author is listed, organise the entry by title.

Footnotes appear at the bottom of the page and endnotes come at the end of the document. A number or symbol on the footnote or endnote matches up with a reference mark in the document.

If you are using a later version of Word, you should follow these steps instead: Select Reference from the Insert menu and then choose Footnote. ... Make sure the Footnotes radio button is selected. ... Using the drop-down list to the right of the Footnotes radio button, select where you want Word to place your footnotes.

A footnote appears at the bottom of the page, and an endnote appears at the end of a document.
