Endnotes & Footnotes
Footnotes and endnotes are used to eaborate, comment on, or reference/cite sources in a document.
- Endnotes
Uses
Endnotes are inserted at the end of the entire document. They are typically used to cite references in academic papers.
How to

This produces another drop-down list from which you need to select the FOOTNOTE option. A window pops up where you can select the option Endnote (using the radio button) and then click on the INSERT button. This inserts a reference number at the reference point and moves the cursor to the bottom of the document where you can actually type the reference or comment.
