# Footnotes & Endnotes

Footnotes and Endnotes enable you to comment on or explain a topic in more detail. If you want to provide your readers with references to, or sources for, your text, then footnotes and endnotes are perfect.

Footnotes appear at the end of each page in a document. Endnotes appear at the end of a document. You can include both footnotes and endnotes in the same document. For example, you can use footnotes for detailed comments and then use endnotes for the citation of sources.

A footnote or endnote consists of two linked parts: the note reference mark and the corresponding note text. You can automatically number the note reference marks, or you can create your own custom marks. If you add, delete, or move your automatically numbered footnotes or endnotes, then Gobe Productive renumbers them to accommodate your change. Custom marks are not changed, but they are moved into the appropriate order if moved. The note text linked to the reference mark can be of any length and format.

NOTE: Frames cannot have footnotes or endnotes, only full-page documents can have them.

## To Insert a Footnote or Endnote

1. Position the insertion point (blinking bar) where you want to place the footnote or endnote.
2. Select Insert Footnote... from the Format menu. The Insert Footnote dialog box is displayed.
3. Choose whether you want to insert a footnote at the end of the page, or insert an endnote at the end of the document.
4. Select the numbering method for the reference mark. AutoNumber automatically numbers your footnotes or endnotes in order of their placement within the document. Custom Mark allows you to use any character to represent the reference mark.
5. If you select AutoNumber, click on the Options button to display the Footnote Options dialog box. Enter the Starting Number for your footnotes or endnotes. Gobe Productive automatically numbers your footnotes and endnotes starting with that number. The default starting number is 1.
6. Click OK to enter the footnote or endnote into the document text. The Insert Footnote dialog box is closed and a pane at the bottom of the document screen (footnote) or a pane at the end of the document (endnote) is displayed for you to enter the note text.
