So, in this tutorial, we insert and edit footnotes in Google Docs.
Footnotes in Google Docs are, basically, a note, commentary, explanation, or a citation of a reference work, etc., put at the bottom of a page in the document, which you want to leave for a reader apart from the main text. And in the document, that is also a link to that footnote. Normally it is put at the end of a chapter, volume, or the whole text. And let’s create a few footnotes for ourselves.
Watch the video from https://thegoodocs.com/ and find out how to do footnotes in Google Docs:
Footnotes insertion in the Google Doc is really simple.
- On the document, put the cursor where you want the footnotes to appear on the document. Like next to that exact word or phrase that you want to leave a note about (we will put a cursor in a random place in the text just to show a sample). Then we open the “Insert” item on the toolbar on top of the page and go down directly to the “Footnote” line and press it
NB! And since it is a link, if you double-click it, that will send you to that description at the bottom of the page.
NB! And when you create a footnote once again on the same page, it will similarly create the following number with a link, but at the bottom, it will simply insert that number instead of creating a new footnote.
NB! If you do a footnote on a new page, in the same way, it will create a new space for a footnote at the bottom of the current page.
We hope this tutorial will help you learn how to do footnotes in Google Docs. Good luck!
