How do you insert footnotes and endnotes and convert between them if needed?

• A. References > Insert Footnote or Insert Endnote; to convert, open the Footnotes/Endnotes dialog and choose Convert
• B. Insert > Caption
• C. View > Readability
• D. Review > Protect

Answer: (A)

Footnotes and endnotes are ways to add extra information without cluttering the main text. In Word, you manage them from the References tab. To insert one, place the cursor where you want the marker and choose Insert Footnote to create a bottom-of-page note, or Insert Endnote to place it at the end of the document. Word inserts a superscript number and takes you to the note, with automatic numbering as you add more notes. If you need to switch a note from footnote to endnote or vice versa, open the Footnotes dialog from the References tab (use the small dialog launcher in that group) and choose Convert. There you can flip all footnotes to endnotes or all endnotes to footnotes, and you can adjust numbering formats if needed. The other options listed aren’t related to notes: inserting a caption labels figures or tables, View > Readability shows statistics, and Protect under Review is about restricting edits. You can also customize how notes are numbered and where they appear in the same dialog.
