How to Make a Footnote in Microsoft Word 2007

Microsoft Word 2007 is a software application that has a footnote wizard to automatically create the footnote notation and allow you to quickly format your document's footnotes. You can also go back and enter footnotes in a completed document and the program will adjust the numbering and apply the format that you have already chosen
 

Instructions
1. Open a document in Microsoft Word. Click "View" on the menu bar and choose "Print Layout."
2. Click the section of the document that the footnote will reference.

3. Click the "Reference" tab on the menu bar. Click "Insert Footnote" in the Footnote section.

4. Select the footnote numbering format and the type of symbol you want to use to indicate the footnote in the dialogue box that opens. Click "Insert" when you have finished formatting the footnote.
5. Type the text that will be the actual footnote inside the text box that opens.

6. Double-click the text box when you have finished. Word will insert the footnote at the bottom of the page and the footnote indication symbol next to the referenced text in the document.
