How to Insert a Footnote in Microsoft Word 2007

1. Select the part of your document that requires the footnote. Do this by holding down the left-click button and dragging it across the word or phrase.
2. Click the 'References' tab in the upper bar (referred to as the Ribbon) of your Word document. Locate the 'Footnotes' tab, which is defaulted to the second tab from the left.
3. Click the 'Insert Footnote' button. This takes you to the bottom of a document's page with a blinking cursor and the footnote number. Type your footnote here.
4. Right-click and select 'Go to Footnote', which will bring you to your original footnote location. If you let your cursor hover over the superscript number, you will see the note hover in a small text box.
