Footnotes, endnotes and links

Adding a footnote or endnote

A footnote is an explanatory note at the bottom of the page, marked with a small number in the text. An endnote works the same way, but appears at the end of the document.

1. Place the cursor after the word the note relates to.
2. Go to the References tab and click Footnote.
3. Choose Insert footnote or Insert endnote and type your note.

The numbers update automatically. If you delete a note, the other numbers shift accordingly. Use Notes settings to choose the numbering style and location.

Adding a link

A link turns text into a clickable connection to a website, an email address, or a place within your document.

1. Select the text that should become the link.
2. Click Link (on the Insert or References tab), or press Ctrl + K.
3. Choose External link and type the address, for example https://www.weboke.nl. Want to link to a heading or bookmark in the same document? Then choose the other tab, for a place in the document.
4. Click OK.

To open a link, hold Ctrl and click it. Right-click the link to edit or remove it.
