Enter what you want in the footnote or endnote. Return to your place in the document by double-clicking the number or symbol at the beginning of the note.

You have the option to restart footnote or endnote numbers so that numbering begins with 1 on each page or in each section. On the Insert menu, click Footnote. Under Format, in the Start at box, enter 1. On the Numbering pop-up menu, click the option that you want, and then click Apply.

Renumbering Existing Footnotes Make sure that Track Changes is not in use. Go to Insert> Footnote. Confirm that the Footnote option is selected. From the Number choices select Continuous. Confirm that Apply changes to specifies Whole document. Be sure to click Apply rather than Insert to close the dialog window.

To change the formatting of the footnote numbers, select the Footnotes Reference Style. If you want to change the formatting of the footnote text at the bottom of the page, select the Footnote Text Style. Click Modify, and then change the formatting options (font, size, and so on).

Customize your footnotes and endnotes In the footnote/endnote view, click Format Footnotes or Format Endnotes to display the Format Options dialog, where you can change the size, font, and indentation of one or all of your footnotes or endnotes.

Go to the Insert menu and click Footnote to open the Footnote and Endnote box. Select the options you want in the Footnote and Endnote box. You can choose between footnotes and endnotes, numbering format, custom marks and symbols, a starting number, and whether to apply the numbering to the whole document.

If you are doing your edits without Track Changes being turned on, then it is possible that your footnotes don't use automatic numbering. Meaning, whoever created the footnotes actually inserted the numbers within the Custom Mark field of the Footnote and Endnote dialog box.

Once the footnote text is selected, press F9. A dialogue box will open saying ?Word cannot undo this action. Do you want to continue?? Select yes, and your cross-references will be updated! You can also update a single cross-reference by selecting it and pressing F9.
