Refer to the same footnote or endnote more than once

  1. Click where you want the reference located.
  2. On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and then click Cross-reference.
  3. In the Reference type box, click Footnote or Endnote.
  4. In the For which box, click the note to which you want to refer.
  5. In the Insert reference to box, click Footnote number or Endnote number.
  6. Click Insert, and then click Close.

    The new reference is inserted as unformatted text rather than as superscript.

Format the new reference as superscript

  1. Select the footnote.
  2. If the Styles and Formatting task pane is not open, click Styles and Formatting on the Formatting toolbar.
  3. In the Styles and Formatting task pane, click Custom in the Show box.
  4. In the Format Settings dialog box, select the Footnote Reference or Endnote Reference check boxes, and then click OK.
  5. In the Styles and Formatting list, click Footnote Reference or Endnote Reference.

    Superscript formatting is applied to the footnote.

    If you just click the arrow beside Footnote Reference or Endnote Reference, a style will not be applied.

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.
