Adding a Footnote

In a word processing document, you can add special marks in a document that link to
notes at the bottom of the page. These notes are called footnotes.

To add a footnote:

1

Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Document button, and then click Document.

2

Choose Use Footnotes from the Footnotes & Endnotes pop-up menu.

3

Choose a numbering format from the Format pop-up menu.

4

Choose whether footnotes are continuous or restart on each page or section from the

Numbering pop-up menu.

5

Place the insertion point in the main text flow (not in a text box, table, or other object)

where you want the footnote mark to appear.

6

Choose Insert > Footnote.

A footnote mark appears, and the insertion point moves to the corresponding
footnote field at the bottom of the page.

7

Type the footnote information.

In addition to text, you can use inline shapes, graphics, and other objects; see “What
Are Floating and Inline Objects?” on page 137 for instructions.
