Open the document you want to add footnotes. Now, click on the word or phrase in the document where you want to place a footnote. Click the Reference tab.

Click on Insert Footnote. Add the information to the footnote and click anywhere on the document. Each footnote is given a specific number right next to each reference point.

When you will place your cursor on the footnote for few seconds, it will display the footnote in the document.
