If you are asking how to insert those numbers in the Microsoft Word program, here are the steps:
1. Put your cursor right after the word or sentence where you want a footnote symbol to be.
2. Click on Insert (top of the screen) and then on Reference.
3. Choose Footnote.
4. A little window will appear with choices for you. If you want regular footnotes with consecutive numbering, it's all set up. Simply click on Insert. (If you want Endnotes or other changes, make them here.)
Thanks, but how do u get the number there without having the line at the bottom of the page? All I need is the number.
I don't think you can. It's just the way Word is set up. The line is intended to mark the division between the regular text on the page with the footnotes section.
Do you have to do footnotes? End notes are much less interruptive.
To add a little number citation (also known as a superscript) next to a quote in Microsoft Word for a research paper, you can follow these steps:
1. Open your Microsoft Word document.
2. Place your cursor where you want to add the citation, next to the quote.
3. Go to the "References" tab in the Word toolbar at the top.
4. In the "References" tab, look for the "Footnotes" section.
5. Click on the "Insert Footnote" button in the "Footnotes" section. This will automatically add a superscript number at the cursor location and place a corresponding footnote at the bottom of the page.
6. Type the desired citation or reference information in the footnote area at the bottom of the page.
7. To return to the main body of your document, you can either scroll down or click on the "Insert Footnote" button again. This will switch your view back to the main text area.
By following these steps, you can easily insert little number citations next to quotes in a research paper in Microsoft Word.
