Mac Word 2011 Footnotes and Endnotes| Page 6of 7. Go to the View tab and switch back to Print Layout view. A small horizontal line will appear above your notes to separate them from the text, and your screen should now look something like the image on the next page. Open the View menu. Click on Print Layout.
Inserting a Footnote To start inserting a footnote place your mouse cursor at the document where you want to put the footnote and click the ‘Insert Footnote’ button under the ‘Reference’ tab. Word automatically assigns a number and a line separator at the bottom of the page when we insert a footnote. Each footnote will be marked as a superscript number beside each reference point in the document. Rest your cursor for a few seconds beside each footnote reference mark to see the footnote or click the ‘Next Footnote’ button in the reference tab to navigate from one footnote to another. Custom Footnote Format We can insert custom footnote format by clicking on the small arrow icon in the reference tab. Our footnotes can have different number format and special characters.
We can even convert our footnotes to endnotes by clicking on the ‘Endnotes’ radio button under the ‘Location’ section. Reusing Footnote Microsoft Word maintains a list of footnotes in a document as a ‘cross-reference’ list. We can reuse each footnote in other part of the document. So that’s how to create footnote in Microsoft Word.
Of course footnote is only one of the referencing styles that Word supports. We can also create a bibliography with.
Based on a writing tip I wrote for my work colleagues. Sometimes a table or a table row can shift to a new page and you don’t know why or how to get it back. There are several possible reasons a table or table row might do this, and several ways to get the table or row back to where you want it. Table rows There are three main reasons for a table row to start on a new page:. Table setting for ‘Allow row to break across pages’: Select the table row, right-click and select Table properties. Go to the Row tab, and see if Allow row to break across pages is checked or not.
If it’s not, a row with a lot of information will start on a new page instead of splitting across the page break. Paragraph setting for forcing a row to remain with the following row or paragraph: Select the first table row that’s on the new page, go to the Home tab, and click the tiny little arrow icon in the bottom right corner of the Paragraph group (see image below) to open the Paragraph dialog box. Go to the Line and Page Breaks tab and see if Keep with next and/or Keep lines together are checked. If so, that means that the row you selected is set to stay with the following paragraph, whether that’s another row or a normal paragraph. Paragraph setting for forcing a row onto a new page: Select the first table row that’s on the new page, go to the Home tab, and click the tiny little arrow icon in the bottom right corner of the Paragraph group to open the Paragraph dialog box. Go to the Line and Page Breaks tab and see if Page break before is checked.
If so, that’s what’s forcing the row to the next page. Entire table Now, what about tables starting on a new page when they probably shouldn’t? Again, there are several reasons for this occurring:. Hard page break or empty lines (paragraphs) inserted in front of the table: Delete the page break and/or empty paragraphs and see if the table moves back. ‘Section break (Next page)’ inserted in front of the table: BEWARE! Deleting section breaks can mess up page orientation and/or headers/footer. If you do delete a section break, check that nothing else was changed on the pages on front of the table AND after it (check the page orientation and headers/footers); if it all goes pear-shaped, immediately undo the deletion of the section break.
Paragraph setting for forcing the header row onto a new page: Select the first table row that’s on the new page, go to the Home tab, and click the tiny little arrow icon in the bottom right corner of the Paragraph group to open the Paragraph dialog box. Go to the Line and Page Breaks tab and see if Page break before is checked. If so, that’s what’s forcing the row to the next page. Paragraph setting for forcing one or more rows to remain with the following row or paragraph: Select the entire table, go to the Home tab, and click the tiny little arrow icon in the bottom right corner of the Paragraph group to open the Paragraph dialog box. Go to the Line and Page Breaks tab and see if Keep with next and/or Keep lines together are checked. If so, that means that table is set to stay with the following paragraph.

If either of these check boxes is shaded, it means some of the rows are set to ‘Keep with next’ and/or ‘Keep lines together’ so click the check boxes until they are clear. One way to check if there’s a paragraph setting that’s controlling the table row(s) is to have your formatting marks turned on and look for a little black square at the far left of a table’s row(s). That black square indicates that a paragraph setting (not a table setting) applies to the row(s). For more details on turning on your formatting marks and the black square, see:.
Links last checked September 2014. Addendum: success.
After fiddling with this godforsaken table for over an hour, i finally found a fix which has seemingly nothing to do with ANY suggested fix i found online: i had to unclick the “link to previous” option in the header for the page containing the dumb table (which header actually began several pages prior to the table). It’s worth noting/complaining that the “link to previous” option for a header has created many headaches in highly formatted documents for me.
I don’t see the connection with tables in this case, but oh well. ALM December 29, 2016 at 4:30 am. This was very helpful on got me on the right track! I would like to add that, in my case, my entire table shifted to an entirely new page as soon as it had too many rows to fit on one page.
I also wanted my header row to repeat, but it was not repeating. I had to select my table, go to “table properties,” then the “table” tab, then under “text wrapping,” I had to select “none.” This immediately shifted my table back to page one, with the overflow on page two containing the repeating header – just like I wanted.

Hi MuscleSherif If you’re applying a table heading style to the row within the table, it’s possible that the style has the ‘page break before’ paragraph setting applied to it. That’s what I’d check now if you’ve done the checks listed in the post.
If the style DOES have the ‘page break before’ attribute, that’s your reason. But you shouldn’t turn it off on the style if you normally want your tables to start on a new page. Instead, just turn it off for the row that you don’t want to start on the new page — select the row, then follow the steps in the ‘Paragraph setting for forcing a row onto a new page’ section in the post. –Rhonda February 9, 2018 at 6:20 am. Hi Diane If you have your formatting marks turned on, you’ll see that ‘end of cell’ symbol in every cell, including blank cells.
It’s perfectly normal, it doesn’t print, and you can’t select it independently of the whole cell. If you look at the last screenshot in the post, you’ll see that symbol at the end of each cell. In the first cell, it’s at the end of the text; in the second (blank) cell, it’s at the beginning of the cell. It moves as soon as you type something into the cell.
