Change the placement of footnotes and endnotes
Microsoft Word, by default, places footnotes at the end of each page and endnotes at the end of the document. You can change the placement of footnotes so that they appear directly below the text. Similarly, you can change the placement of endnotes so that they appear at the end of each section.
- On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and then click Footnote.
- Under Location, click Footnotes or Endnotes.
- Click the option you want in the Footnotes or Endnotes box.
- Click Apply.
