Make Up Footnote Release For Free

In order to update the cross-references, place your cursor in a footnote and select the text of all footnotes by pressing Ctrl ? A. Once the footnote text is selected, press F9.

Footnotes are listed at the bottom of the page on which a citation is made. A numeral is placed in the text to indicate the cited work and again at the bottom of the page in front of the footnote. A footnote lists the author, title and details of publication, in that order.

Click the reference number or mark in the body of the text or click Insert > Show Footnotes(for endnotes, click Insert > Show 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.

Select "Edit ? Select All" (or press CTRL + A) when your cursor is below the line (i.e., in the area where the footnotes are listed, not in the main body of the text). Press F9 or right click and select "Update Field."

In a Word document, when editing with track changes, footnotes do not automatically refresh after deletion. If track changes are accepted, footnotes will be updated automatically. But when track changes is still on (in the document), footnotes won't upate automatically.

Changing the Way Footnotes Are Numbered Make sure the References tab is selected on the ribbon. Click the small downward-pointing arrow at the lower-right corner of the Footnotes group. ... Make sure the Footnotes radio button is selected. Change the Start At value to reflect where you want Word to start numbering.
