How do you insert and edit footnotes and endnotes?

To insert footnotes or endnotes, place the cursor where you want the reference, then go to the ‘References’ tab and choose ‘Insert Footnote’ or ‘Insert Endnote.’ Word automatically numbers and places these notes at the bottom of the page (for footnotes) or at the end of the document (for endnotes). To edit, simply click on the footnote or endnote number in the text and make your changes in the note area.
