How can we insert endnotes for Documents

How can we insert endnotes for Documents

In a Word document, the endnotes are used to indicate the source of the citationsand are generally located at the end of the document.

We often need to illustrate the source of citations when writing a paper involving references. At this time, we can insert endnotes. How should we do it?

Locate the cursor before the text whose source should be indicated. Click the References and Insert Endnote buttons to jump to the end of the document. Then, you can input the content under endnote Separator.

Double-click the number before the endnotes to jump to the associated text automatically.

At this time, an endnote sup data-imgw=720 data-imgh=405 data-src="//res-academy.cache.wpscdn.com/images/453ccf613d8de0c5ef0b35e85aae2556_0.46_9459.gif" data-test="skks" style="max-width: 100%; width: 720px; max-height: 405px; height: calc(100vw *(405/720)); text-align:center;" >

To delete the wrongly added endnotes, we can select the reference superscript inserted in the text and press the Delete  data-imgw=720 data-imgh=405 data-src="//res-academy.cache.wpscdn.com/images/f1b7028cd5414b3b9a235b5c05bf9b06_0.46_3059.gif" data-test="skks" style="max-width: 100%; width: 720px; max-height: 405px; height: calc(100vw *(405/720)); text-align:center;" >

You can also modify the endnote formatting if the existing one is not appropriate.

Click ReferencesSetting and Footnote/Endnote buttons to p data-imgw=720 data-imgh=405 data-src="//res-academy.cache.wpscdn.com/images/a03ecdc510057bb33653444d01edb4e7_0.46_4030.gif" data-test="skks" style="max-width: 100%; width: 720px; max-height: 405px; height: calc(100vw *(405/720)); text-align:center;" >

At the Location area, we can change the position where the endnotes are inserted.

Select End of section to add the endnotes to the bottom of the current section.

Select End of document  data-imgw=720 data-imgh=405 data-src="//res-academy.cache.wpscdn.com/images/6a800fa4f12c408144cce7ff33687752_0.46_4444.gif" data-test="skks" style="max-width: 100%; width: 720px; max-height: 405px; height: calc(100vw *(405/720)); text-align:center;" >

In addition to modifying the position of endnotes, we can also set the endnote format as needed.

In the Number format  data-imgw=720 data-imgh=405 data-src="//res-academy.cache.wpscdn.com/images/6d621ce410dff16d1a8de11f66ed4c30_0.46_9021.gif" data-test="skks" style="max-width: 100%; width: 720px; max-height: 405px; height: calc(100vw *(405/720)); text-align:center;" >

If the default number style cannot fulfill your needs, click Symbol  data-imgw=720 data-imgh=405 data-src="//res-academy.cache.wpscdn.com/images/2538b7b758292cdc25aa73c51dafa2b4_0.46_1961.gif" data-test="skks" style="max-width: 100%; width: 720px; max-height: 405px; height: calc(100vw *(405/720)); text-align:center;" >

At the Start at area, you can set the starting number value for the endnote, which is generally 1  data-imgw=720 data-imgh=405 data-src="//res-academy.cache.wpscdn.com/images/2bf4c5dbbe1750481610bc5ef82e118e_0.46_6030.gif" data-test="skks" style="max-width: 100%; width: 720px; max-height: 405px; height: calc(100vw *(405/720)); text-align:center;" >

You can also change the numbering method of the endnotes. The system defaults to the consecutive numbering in the order of insertion.

If you want to renumber the endnotes of different sections, you can select the Restart each section button. And click the Apply  data-imgw=720 data-imgh=405 data-src="//res-academy.cache.wpscdn.com/images/cc123525d8dba1b9b2d5a9a21a340247_0.46_3924.gif" data-test="skks" style="max-width: 100%; width: 720px; max-height: 405px; height: calc(100vw *(405/720)); text-align:center;" >
