How To Insert An Endnote in a Microsoft Word Document?

An Endnote can be a Comment, an Explanation or a Reference which is located at the end of a Document or the Section of a Document. They provide explanatory comments and contain reference information about the quoted material, that would not interrupt the flow of the main text by moving upwards and downwards in the Document. The Endnotes are indicated by Superscript Numbers located next to the text and at the End of the Document or Section of a Document.

If You Want To Learn How To Insert An Endnote in a Microsoft Word Document, read the post that follows.

 

We must select the References tab and locate the area of the ribbon named Footnotes as shown in the image below. If we hover over the command Insert Endnote we are notified with the following: Add A Note Like A Comment Or Citation, Providing More Info About Something In Your Document. Superscript Numbers Referring To Endnotes Are Added To Your Text.

Before we select the command, we must insert our cursor next to the text that we want to Insert the Endnote.

Once we select the Insert Endnote command, a Superscript Number will be placed next to the text and we will immediately be transferred at the End of the Document, where the Endnote will appear. Next to the Superscript Number that indicates the Endnote at the End of the Document, we must type in the information that we need. If we hover over the Superscript Number in our Document, we will be able to see what we typed in the Endnote hovering on top of our Document. If we insert another Endnote in the Document, the Level of the Numbering of the Superscript will change also.

In the image below, we can see the text of the Endnote which is located at the End of the Document. We can also see the Superscript Number, which corresponds to the Endnote.

We can move between the Endnotes in our Document, with the use of the command Next Endnote. From the References tab of the Ribbon, we locate the area of the ribbon named Footnotes and we select the command Next Footnote. From the drop-down menu that appears we can select either Next Endnote or Previous Endnote as shown below.

If we want to modify the Format of the Endnotes or the Location, we must select the References tab and from the area of the ribbon named Footnotes we select the arrow located at the bottom right corner as shown below. Once selected, the Footnote and Endnote dialog box appears. In this dialog box we can modify the following, but first we must activate the check box at the left of the command Endnotes, so the changes apply only to them:

• Location of the Endnotes: We can choose End of Section or End of Document
• Format of the Endnotes:
• Number Format: We can Change the Format of the Endnotes
• Custom Marks: We can insert a Symbol as Endnotes
• Start At: We can define from which Number to Start At
• Numbering: We can select Continuous, Restart at Each Section
• And finally Apply Changes To: Whole Document

Whatever adjustments we do, we just press the Ok button located at the bottom right corner of the Footnote and Endnote dialog box.

An Endnote looks like a Footnote, but the major difference is that the Endnotes are located at the End of the Document or the Section of the Document.
