The note reference mark (note reference mark: A number, character, or combination of characters that indicates that additional information is contained in a footnote or endnote.) is inserted as unformatted text rather than as superscript (superscript: Describes text that is slightly higher than other text on a line, such as a footnote reference mark.).
Format the note reference mark as superscript
- Select the note reference mark.
- If the Styles and Formatting
task pane (task pane: A window within an Office application that provides commonly used commands. Its location and small size allow you to use these commands while still working on your files.) is not open, click Styles and Formatting
on the Formatting
toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, click Customize on the Tools menu, and then click the Toolbars tab.).
- In the Styles and Formatting task pane, click Custom in the Show box.
- In the Format Settings dialog box, select the Footnote Reference or Endnote Reference check box, and then click OK.
- In the Styles and Formatting list, click Footnote Reference or Endnote Reference.
Superscript formatting is applied to the footnote.
Note The new number that Microsoft Word inserts is actually a cross-reference to the original reference mark. If you add, delete, or move a note, Word updates the cross-reference number when you print the document or when you select the cross-reference number and then press F9. If you have trouble selecting the cross-reference number by itself, try selecting some surrounding text along with it, and then press F9.
