Adding a footnote to a Microsoft Word document isn't difficult at all. In this quick guide, we'll show you how to insert footnotes in Word in just a few clicks.

In Word 2003, choose Reference from the Insert menu and then choose Index and Tables. The default settings are adequate for the first run, but change the Columns to 1, as shown in Figure G.

Word can't break in to them to add text, but this doesn't mean you've got to settle with how they appear on the Word page. Use Word's text boxes to layer your documents, adding text to scanned files.

Don't let Word's lack of a proper glossary feature stop you from adding one. Use the Table of Authorities feature instead.
