Modifying Footnotes or Endnotes

Editing the actual text of a footnote or endnote is just like editing any text, except that you must first access the note. Use the Show Notes button to display all the notes, click to position your insertion point at the bottom of the page or in the Notes pane, and then edit. As you change other text in a document, Word repositions your notes. When your edits affect sentences with notes, or when you move, copy, or delete notes in your document, Word renumbers the other notes for you. When you move, copy, or delete a note, you work with the note reference mark in the document, not the text in the Notes pane. You can move, copy, or delete a note in the same way you would text in a document.
