A footnote is a short note at the bottom of a page that provides extra information about something mentioned in the regular text on that page. Word indicates a footnote with a reference mark, a number or other symbol that appears as a superscript in both the regular text and in a special footnote box at the bottom of the page. An endnote is similar, except that is appears at the end of the document.
