Tools for Creating Academic and Research Papers in Word 2004

It is important to cite your sources when you’re working on an academic paper. You can do this manually. However, it is much easier to use the Footnote/Endnote function included in Word 2004. It will automatically update your citations as you edit your paper. Also, you won’t need to worry about formatting.

1. Place your cursor where you would like to insert the footnote/endnote mark

2. Click Insert>>Footnote

3. Select whether you would like a footnote or endnote

4. You can also select default number or insert your own special mark by clicking Custom

5. Click OK

6. If it’s a footnote, a separator line will appear at the end of the page

7. Type your citation
