| Lesson 8: Footnotes
and Endnotes |
| Objective # 1 |
Footnotes
|
|
 |
A footnote allows you to
provide additional information about an item,
such as its source.
A footnote also always appears at the
bottom of the page, where the reference to the
source of information occurs.
A footnote is critical to word
processing because it protects you from
copyright infringement.
A copyright provides legal protection
for a written or artistic work, giving the
author exclusive rights to its use and
reproduction.
However, copyright does not mean that
you cannot quote in your own terms.
It simply indicates the consideration
of fair use as long as you are using the work
for educational, nonprofit purposes, or for
the purpose of critical review or commentary.

| Objective # 2 |
Footnotes Continued
|
 |
The Insert Footnote Command
inserts a note into a document, and
automatically assigns the next sequential
number to that note.
This command can be found in the Insert
menu, as we will discuss in the following
slide.
|
| |
| Objective # 3 |
How to Create Notes
|
 |
To create a note in your
document, you must position the insertion
point wherever you want the reference, and
place your cursor at that exact location.
Next, you must pull down the Insert
menu from the toolbar located on top, and then
click on Footnote to display the dialog box as
witnessed from the slide.
Next, you simply choose either the
Footnote or Endnote option button to make your
reference.
A superscript reference is inserted
into the document, and you will be positioned
at the bottom of the page for a footnote or at
the end of the document for an endnote, where
you then enter the text of the note.

| Objective # 4 |
Making Changes to Documentation
|
 |
The Insert Footnote command
adjusts for last-minute changes, either in
your writing or in your professor’s
requirements.
It will, for example, renumber all
existing notes to accommodate the addition or
deletion of a footnote or endnote.
Existing notes are moved (or deleted)
within a document by moving (deleting) the
reference mark rather than the text of the
footnote.
