Step # 1 – Getting Ready to Place the Footnote
Open Word with the document that you want to add a footnote to. From the tabs at the top click on the one that says “References”. Now go to the place in the text where you want to insert the number that relates to the footnote. Here we are placing it at the end of a paragraph.
