# Footnotes and Endnotes

&kword; has a complete set of tools to create and manage footnotes and endnotes. When you assign a footnote, &kword; automatically places the footnote at the bottom of the correct page. When you assign an endnote, the notation is located in a numbered list at the end of your text. If the footnote or endnote reference point is moved to a new page, the footnote automatically follows and is renumbered as needed (if the user desires).

&kword; also has the ability to seperatly manage endnotes and footnotes in the same document.

You have the option of having &kword; control the numbering of your footnotes. Alternatively, you can manually specify each footnote.

There are multiple automatic numbering schemes and your footnotes can be separated from the text with a dividing line.

## Add a new footnote or endnote

To add a new footnote or endnote, place your cursor at the end of the text you want to reference. Then select Insert Footnote/Endnote... from the menubar. This will bring up a dialog box.

If you want &kword; to automatically number your footnotes or endnotes for you, make sure that Automatic is selected. If you want to manually enter all footnotes in, then select Manual and enter the footnote or endnote entry in the text box to the right.

If at all possible, try to allow &kword; to automatically number the footnotes and endnotes for you. If &kword; controls the numbering, and you insert, delete or move footnotes, &kword; will automatically renumber or reorder the footnotes for you.

Then select either Footnote or Endnote. Footnotes will appear at the bottom of the page where the notation occurs. Endnotes will appear as an ordered list at the end of your document.
