How do i type little numbers in the top right corner at the end of words?

Question

I don't know if i will explain this right, but i need to put in a little number after the word i have just typed and then i will put the same number at the bottom of the page and the description of the word. I need the numebrs to go up to 12. I am using Arial font on Microsoft Word.
Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

Go to Insert, then scroll down to reference, then scrollover to footnote.

Answer 2

Here's how to put the number in, when you just need a number.

But, to do "footnotes", my best advice to you is to go to the Help menu in Microsoft, and type in Insert a Footnote. When that page shows, click on Show all up in the top right corner. You need the first part of that explanation. You might ask your teacher if you can do endnotes instead of footnotes because they are all together at the end (duh!) and not so distracting.

For a number though, put your curser where you want the number to go. Go up to the top of the screen while you are in Word. Open Format. Then click on Font. Where it says Effects, click on Superscript for the number that goes at the top right of a letter. Then click OK. Put in whatever number you want. Now, this part is boring. To get back to regular sized letters and numbers, you have to "unselect" that Superscript box that you checked.

You can also click on Subscript for the little number that goes at the bottom right, like water appears when it's H2O and looks neater than that!

After you finish your homework, play around with some of those other "effects". One of my favorites is "small caps" because it can be used for emphasis and is easier to read than italics. Don't use anything though unless your teacher says it's OK as one of the things you're learning is "style".

You might want to look at Insert and then Symbol for some other nifty things.

Have fun. Good luck.

ur referring to footnotes
in MS Word, place the cursor next to the word
Insert > Footnote (this is for Office 2000)
if u get a dialog box, just click Yes/OK or whatever comes!
now, u can type the text of ur footnote
u can have any no of footnotes in a page: 12 is nothing!

Click on "Insert" at the top of your screen. (Press Alt+I in case you cannot see it.) Click on "reference" and then on "footnotes".
