Word footnotes and endnotes are supplementary explanations to the text and consist of two related parts, namely: comment marks and corresponding comment text.
Footnotes are generally located at the bottom of the page and can be used as comments on certain content in the document, such as a brief introduction to the author added at the bottom of the first page of a paper; endnotes are generally located at the end of the document and list the sources of citations.
(1) Insert footnote
1. Position the mouse cursor at the location where the footnote is to be inserted in the Word document, click the "Quote" option, and click the "Insert Footnote" icon. At this time, a superscript "1" is automatically inserted into the text, and the cursor automatically Jump to the bottom of the page, insert a horizontal line and a "1" at the bottom of the current page, copy the footnote here, or directly enter the footnote, follow the steps.
2. After inserting the footnote, if you want to see the footnote, you do not need to move to the end of the page where the footnote is located. You only need to move the cursor to the position where the footnote is inserted, and the footnote will be automatically displayed.
3. There is "Next Footnote" on the right side of "Insert Footnote". Click it to expand, as well as "Previous Footnote, Previous Endnote and Next Endnote".
4. "Next footnote and previous footnote" are used to switch between footnotes, and "previous endnote and next endnote" are used to switch between endnotes. In addition, setting the font and font size for footnotes is like setting the font and font size for ordinary paragraphs. Select the font and font size you want to set, right-click the selected text, and set it in the pop-up window.
(2) Modify footnotes
There are two places to insert "footnotes", one is at the bottom of the page and the other is below the text. When the former is selected, the text moves down to the bottom of the page; otherwise, the text moves up to the bottom of the last line of text on the page. Now change "Bottom of Page" to "Bottom of Text", right-click the footnote to be modified, select "Note Options", open the "Footnotes and Endnotes" window, click the drop-down list box to the right of "Footnote", and select "Below Text" ”, click “Apply”, and the modification is successful.

2. You can also position the cursor behind the serial number (1, 2, 3, etc.) of the footnote to be deleted on the page, and press the Backspace key twice, and the footnote will be deleted as well.
(1) Insert endnote
1. No matter which page you position the cursor on, the inserted endnote will be after the last page. Position the mouse cursor in the Word document where the endnote is to be inserted, click the "Quote" option, and click "Insert Endnote". At this time, a superscript "1" is automatically inserted at the text, and the cursor automatically Jump to the end of the document, insert a horizontal line and a "1" at the end of the document, copy the endnote here, or directly enter the endnote.

You only need to move the cursor to the position where the endnote is inserted, and the endnote will be displayed immediately. Therefore, when inserting endnotes, you should position the cursor at the location where you often view the endnotes.
(2) Modify endnotes
1. The insertion position of "Endnote" can be the end of the document or the end of the section. When selecting the end of the section, the document must have a section break inserted; "Column" has five options, namely match section layout, 1 column, 2 Column, 3 columns and 4 columns; "Numbering" can choose continuous and renumbering each section, and various display operations.

1. Position the cursor behind the serial number (1, 2, 3, etc.) of the endnote to be deleted on the page, and press the Backspace key twice to delete the endnote.
2. Be careful not to delete the last endnote of the document directly. Even if you delete all the endnotes, the endnote serial numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) on the page still exist, so you should delete the endnote serial numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) on the page. 1, 2, 3, etc.), only in this way can all the endnotes be deleted.
