Word will replace the field with the footnote number to which your bookmark was assigned.
Click F9 to update the field information. Key in ftnref followed by the name of the bookmark used above. Be certain your cursor stays between the brackets. Click CTRL + F9 to insert field brackets. Place your cursor in the footnotes where you want to place the cross-reference. Assign this footnote reference mark a bookmark name by clicking on the Insert tab of your Ribbon and in the Links group, click on Bookmark. Select the footnote reference mark that you would like to cross-reference in your document. The issue here is that when you use automatic footnote numbering the cross-references can be a burden if you have to update them manually.įortunately, Word allows you to automatically cross-reference footnotes so that your cross-references once set, always stay in place correctly. This often occurs in technological business manuals as well. You now have a bibliography that you have manually created.In Academia there are often very lengthy documents that have myriad footnotes and they sometimes necessitate cross-referencing. Work your way through all your endnotes, deleting all the text and references you do not need in your bibliography. You now have a document that has nothing but endnotes in it. Open a new blank document and paste (CTRL + V) your endnotes to the new document. Click CTRL + C to copy your endnotes to the Clipboard. Hold down the Shift key and click at the end of your last endnote.Īll the endnotes in your document should now be selected. Scroll to the end of your endnotes so you can see the last one on your Word screen. Now, all footnotes within this whole document have been displayed at the bottom pane as following screenshot shown: Note: If there are both footnotes and endnotes in your. Then, go on clicking References > Show Notes, see screenshot: 3. Position your cursor just before your first endnote (the text, not the reference). Open the word document that you want to view all footnotes, and then click View > Draft, see screenshot: 2. Convert all your footnotes to endnotes. There is however, a manual work around to help you accomplish this.
There simply is no built in way to accomplish this task in Word. One would think then, that there would be an easy way to create one from the other in MS Word.
Most folks in academia know that footnotes and bibliographies are very closely related.
