Make a final footnote check before you turn your paper in, to make sure everything’s the way it should be. So, for example, the truncated footnote “Richardson, 120” will appear before the footnote with all of the book’s complete publication information. This means that if you have repeat references, as described above, and you move things around, your repeat references will be out of order. And finally: If you move a footnote number around while you’re editing your paper (say, by copy-and-pasting a block of text that contains one of the superscript numbers), the text at the bottom of the page will move along with the number. If you cite the same source twice in a row, the second time you cite it, you should use the word “Ibid” ( means “the same place” in Latin), with the new page number (ex: “Ibid, 340”).Ħ. A note on repeat citations: After you insert the first reference to your source, if you’re citing it again, you should use only the author’s last name and the new page number (ex: “Richardson, 120”). You can also easily add footnotes in Google Docs. (Or, where you’ll insert the footnote text that NoodleBib has helped you to generate.)ĥ. This will open a dialogue box offering you a wide variety of footer. A superscript number-a little number positioned above the line of text-will appear where the cursor was, and you’ll be brought down to the bottom of the page, where another superscript number will appear. With your document open, you can click on Insert>Headers and Footers, then select Footers. You can insert a footnote reference in a column of text or in a table cell. Select “Footnote” (for this particular paper, we’re using footnotes rather than endnotes). 1)Click where you want the footnote reference to appear. Navigate to the Word menu “Insert,” then select “Footnote.”ģ. (Generally speaking, footnote numbers should appear outside the closing punctuation mark of the sentence containing the quote or information that you’re citing.)Ģ. Position your cursor at the end of your sentence. If you can’t find a good tutorial that way, email me and I’ll help.ġ. This process should work for most versions of Word, but if you see a step that doesn’t ring true for your version, I recommend Googling the following: “insert footnotes” + the name of your version of Word (which you can find while in Word by clicking on the Word menu, then selecting “About Word”).
