We recommend that you create footnotes using your word processor, and then insert the citations into the footnotes using special styles for footnotes: either Chicago 15thB or MLA (MLA-italics).

Inserting References in Footnotes in a Microsoft Word Document

Open the EndNote library

Select the reference you wish to cite in a footnote

Open Word, position the cursor where you wish to insert the footnote indicator, then select the Insert menu, Reference, Footnote.

Important: Make sure you are in Print Layout view in Word

Go down to the new footnote, click where you want the citation to be inserted, and select the Tools menu, EndNote, and Insert Selected Citation.

If you prefer, you can use the icon on the EndNote toolbar.

Click on Insert | Reference | Footnote

  • Position the cursor in the footnote or endnote where you would like the citation(s) to appear.
  • Go to EndNote and copy the citation.
  • Paste the citation into the footnote or endnote.
  • Position the cursor before the final curly bracket and type @ followed by the page number eg @24. Your unformatted citation will then look like something like this: {Koehl, 1986 #21@24}
  • Repeat this procedure for each footnote.
  • Format the bibliography.

Inserting a page break before bibliography

  • You must insert a Page Break before the bibliography at the end of the document. To do this: Position the cursor just before the heading for the bibliography (e.g. References, Bibliography).
  • Click on Insert from the menu bar.
  • Click on Break and choose the default Page break. This will ensure your bibliography is printed on a separate page at the end of your document, while the footnotes will appear at the bottom of each page correctly formatted.
