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
- Position the insertion point (blinking bar) where you want to place the footnote or
endnote.
- Select Insert Footnote... from the Format menu.
The Insert Footnote dialog box is displayed.

- Choose whether you want to insert a footnote at the end of the page, or insert an
endnote at the end of the document.
- 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.
- 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.

- 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.
