You can get things looking exactly as you'd like, and again, when you're done click OK, OK, and then a third OK to finalise the settings and see the changes implemented in Word 2013.įor more on Microsoft's word processor, see our 9 top tips for Microsoft Word 2010. You might notice there's an Advanced tab here where you can fine-tune details like the size of the spacing between characters. Also note that you can turn off superscript here, and switch to subscript (where the reference number is lowered, as opposed to raised above the text). If you want to modify the footnote reference (superscript) number itself, then select that (in the body of the text) and it will automatically be picked out by Word when you open the Styles box (Alt+Ctrl+Shift+S), and then click the third icon from the left which is Manage Styles, the same as the process above.Īgain, you then click Modify, although in this case you'll need to click the bottom left button, Format, which produces a dropdown menu, and select Font to change the font. Make your changes, click OK, OK again, and they'll be implemented. You can also choose from other options for example, to italicise the text, or underline it – all the usual formatting stuff, which works just as it does elsewhere in Word. Now click the Modify button below, and you can select a new font and font size under formatting.
In case you didn't or it hasn't, you'll have to scroll through the 'Select a style to edit' menu, find it and select. As long as you've highlighted your footnote text before visiting this menu as we noted in the last paragraph, Word will automatically have selected Footnote Text (Hide Until Used). Go to the bottom of the Styles box which has popped up, and click the third icon from the left which is Manage Styles. Navigate to the References tab and then click on Insert Footnote. Click on the page where you would like to add the footnote or endnote.

You’ve now got rid of that empty paragraph for ALL footnotes in your document.To change the font of the footnote, first of all highlight your footnote text with the cursor.

It’s that empty paragraph that annoys a lot of people - it just adds unwanted space in front of the page’s footnotes, when there’s already a visual separator in the partial line. The footnote separator line and the empty paragraph are styled as ‘Normal’, so if you’ve adjusted the paragraph spacing (leading) above and/or below in the style, you may get way more space than you need, as shown in the screenshot below.
When you insert a footnote in Word ( References tab > Insert Footnote), by default it gets added to the bottom of the page along with a short line and an empty paragraph to separate it from the body of the text.
